Are there really only those few options for the drawing scale?

For pipe layout drawings, A0 at a scale of 1:50 results in too much empty space; A1 at a scale of 1:50 is not sufficient either, and A0 at a scale of 1:30 is also not enough. The common ratios are not good. Can’t we choose 1:35 or 1:40? With the widespread use of random computers, does anyone still use rulers? I would like to ask whether those complexes have used custom proportions? Sometimes it’s really tough to decide on the sheet size and scale for drawings.
The concept of ratios has been around for a long time; you can choose from these ratios
But for things like floor plans, it’s better to follow established conventions
What is the conventional ratio? It seems that these ratios sometimes affect the drawing process. Can it be broken through?
For layout drawings, we use a scale of 50 and 100; other scales are generally not used
We generally use the recommended ratios specified by standards.
Actually, any of them will work; 35 is also fine
Pipe layout drawings can be provided; for a single project, the scale of drawings of the same type must be consistent.
I think this question is meaningful. I often encounter situations where a 1:50 ratio is too small; for example, with a length of 200, if the text aspect ratio is 0.7, the text won’t fit. A 1:30 ratio seems a bit too large again, while ratios like 1:75 and 1:40 are quite suitable.
