The Importance Of Layers

Autocad Layering:

I'm not here to lecture but I can not stress enough the importance of having a good layering convention when using Autocad. It is even more crucial when working in a multidisciplinary team where xrefs and multiple changes need to be carried out at short notice.

Time spent at the beginning of the job will always pay dividends towards the end. The number of times I have received drawings from external sources that need a full days work on them to reorganise the layering structure is unbelievable.

Am I the only one who comes across this, your thoughts appreciated.
