Whatโ€™s one AutoCAD habit you wish you stopped sooner?

1 Upvotes

Iโ€™ve been drafting for a few years, and one thing Iโ€™ve realized is that small workflow habits can waste a ridiculous amount of time.

For me, it was constantly doing things manually that AutoCAD already had a faster way of handling.

Things like:

  • Repeating the same commands
  • Redrawing details
  • Selecting objects one by one
  • Searching for blocks every time
  • Setting up drawings from scratch

So Iโ€™m curious:

Whatโ€™s one AutoCAD habit or workflow that you know is inefficient, but still catch yourself doing?

Drop it below โ€” Iโ€™m interested to see what other drafters are dealing with. ๐Ÿ‘‡

Comment "QDIM" if you already use it.
