Just figured out why my files were always rejected - wrong lineweight layer

Been drafting for 5 years and nobody ever told me that survey base files use a specific lineweight layer that clashes with our office standard. Spent 3 hours redoing 30 sheets after my senior drafter finally explained it. Anyone else run into this kinda hidden office rule thing?

whoa wait, that is genuinely wild. i've been drafting for like eight years now and i've never even heard of a specific lineweight layer for survey bases. that feels like one of those things somebody should have told you on day one, not five years in. honestly i'm a little shocked because i feel like most offices just have you set everything to by layer and hope for the best. five years though, that's brutal that nobody caught it sooner, especially with the senior drafter just now explaining it. that's the kind of detail that can really mess up a whole project without you even knowing why, you know?

bro what. that is wild. five years is insane, i would be lowkey fuming if i spent that long not knowing something that basic.

Man that sucks. My buddy found out the same way after four years.
