    I really would need to know what you are designing. If you mean for logos here on DC I set my art box at 640 x480px so this way I know my logo is to optimal scale here. I also design large scale project with multiple pieces. I usually set up my main art box to 1"=1ft, but that because some of my work is 300 ft or larger. See so it really depends on your project. I hope I helped you out a bit.

    Isn't the purpose of vector graphics, to have the ability to scale the object or design into whatever size you want. Because vector graphics use points and not pixels, therefore you don't get the pixelation when enlarging. Am I right or wrong?

    You are absolutely right
    Th dimensions in vector are abstract value.
    I work usualy on blank A4 or letter layout, because I can handle better font sizes (pt)
