I finally get why layer management in CAD is a BIG deal

I always figured organizing layers was just extra work. Now I see it cuts revision time in HALF when the engineer needs changes fast.

So what's your method when the changes hit. Like, do you have a set list of layer names for every project. Or do you just make them up as you go. I got burned last week because my plumbing layer was just called "lines." Took forever to find everything when we switched pipe types.

Tell me you didn't just call it 'lines'!

Template layers like 'PLUMBING_WALL' prevent my 'lines' mistakes.
