Please elaborate on this gem of wisdom. I always thought that the whole purpose of vector based Cad drawings (forms like DXF, IGES, and DWG) was that they WERE scalable, now you forbid it?

A lot of the people using CAD in this group are making "SCALE MODELS". Are you saying that if one has a full sized set of Cad drawings of say a locomotive, that he should NOT scale them to make an HO scale model?
