Cleaning up a coffee spill gave me a layer management idea

I was wiping up a coffee spill that ruined some paper sketches on my desk. It got me thinking about how I sort layers in my CAD files, keeping each part separate so nothing gets messy. What normal things have helped you figure out a drafting tip?

Read a magazine tip about using folders like that.

Real Simple has been telling me to color code my folders since 2003, and my desk is still a disaster.

Spilling coffee on paper sketches feels like a weirdly specific disaster. You're telling me your CAD layers are safer than real paper on your desk? That's actually brilliant, keeping the digital version clean while the physical one gets wrecked.
