Re: Presenting oversize diagrams in printed documentation

[Anthony Davey <ant -at- ant-davey -dot- com>]

John,

From a personal point of view, I'd be happy to see two and three sheet 
fold 'outs', but when you get to four sheets or more, i.e. folds both 
down and out, I think I'd prefer them to be separate appendices. 
Printed separately and folded down in a document slot/wallet and the 
back of the whole package.  

By the time a diagram gets that large, I suspect, I would want to be 
refering back to the textual instructions/descriptions fairly regularly, 
and this would be easier without the hinderance of  a huge sheet of 
paper getting in the way.  Yes, there is a possibility that some of the 
diagrams will get lost, but with a four or six sheet fold out there is a 
high likelihood of damage as well.

By the time you get to a 2x6 sheet size, you are way over the capacity 
of most desk tops and, like many of your other diagrams, they would 
probably be better viewed pinned on the (cube) wall.

Best regards,
Ant
