Because, if it is to the sides of openings; I now have to add on shim space allowance ( usually around 2" ) to window size. this has to be added equally to both sides; 1" left and 1" right, not just all 2" on one side or the window will possibly be off by 2" So potential for errors go way up; as does arithmetic time. Centers, so much simpler ..

" You obviously never worked as a framer or builder. In all the years spent as a builder and framer in the U.S. and Canada I have never run into a professional set of plans that didn't dimension to centers and as far as measurements that are in 16ths of an inch, that's totally absurd .."

" Framers asked you to not dimension to centers ? As a framer and builder for many years I find that very hard to believe .. "

" In addition to dimensions that are to the wrong places; what tradespeople want to deal with fractions but especially to the 16th of an inch and who dimensions to the sides of openings and not to the centers ?? " Hate to be using your drawings if I was a tradesperson trying to construct anything .. Boo !!!
