At the last company I worked for, we had the same problem. The engineers, techs,
and everyone who actually used the drawings, liked the convenience of B size
drawings. Management and QA insisted on D size. What we did was to create D size
drawings with symbols large enough to be seen clearly when reduced to B size. We
filed away the D size as the archive copy, but printed them B size for anyone
actually using the drawings. If you would like to adopt this system, check your
CAD system, most will allow you to scale library parts, so that you don't need
to re-create them all.
