ANSI A Size Dimensions
According to the North American ANSI Series Paper Sizes reference, the standard dimensions for an ANSI A size drawing are:
| SIZE | INCHES | MILLIMETERS |
|---|---|---|
| ANSI A | 8.5 × 11 | 216 × 279 |
This size is the smallest in the ANSI paper size series used in North America, which also includes B, C, D, and E sizes for progressively larger documents and drawings. The ANSI A size is commonly referred to as "Letter" size in the United States.
It is frequently used for:
- Standard documentation

- Smaller technical drawings or details
Understanding these dimensions is crucial for printing, plotting, and archiving documents and architectural drawings according to standard North American practices.
