Went to your home page, didn't open. Or, was extremely slow so I stopped waiting.
A server slow down?  ------------- Tankman "When the well's dry, we'll all know the value of water." |

Checked out your drawing briefly. I'll take a better look later on but, for the record, at first glance, nice.
There was one free astray mark on thee drawing when I went to view, extends. Marked the point and deleted it.
There were also some errors, quite a few.
From the command line, four commands.
Purge (enter)
Audit (enter)
Regenall (enter)
Save (enter)
Cleaned up your drawing nicely. ------------- Tankman "When the well's dry, we'll all know the value of water." |

Seems your drawing has a lot of over ridden dimensions. How come?
I was going to scale in model space. Didn't.
Check the catalog. I uploaded your drawing to this website.
You might also try this tutorial.

The drawing I opened is a piping isometric - generally those do not get drawn to scale so the dims always have to be overwritten. I do not understand your question, had a quick look at it and did not see much wrong.... Care to elaborate?

I will always draw in model space, to scale.
When I did an audit, there were 90+ errors noted.
I cleaned the *.dwg file; purge, audit, regenall and saved before posting.
Although I was working in '07, I always save to AutoCad 2000 for email and/or posting. Some downloaders might not have 2007 or newer versions of AutoCad.  ------------- Tankman "When the well's dry, we'll all know the value of water." |

One additional note. I have a piping add-on for AutoCAD.
The add-on has an icon, clicking on it will list pipe sizes, lengths, fittings and, get this, weights.  ------------- Tankman "When the well's dry, we'll all know the value of water." |
