Red pen marks all over my drawings changed how I dimension
About six months ago, a senior engineer I work with at our shop in Cleveland pulled me aside after I sent over some plans for a small metal building. He had printed them out and taken a red pen to almost every sheet. He pointed out that my dimension lines were crossing each other in ways that would confuse a fabricator on the floor. He said, "You're adding extra measurements that don't help anyone. Stick to the critical ones and leave the rest out." I argued at first because I wanted to be thorough, but he was right. The guys building from my drawings were spending too much time figuring out which number mattered. I changed my whole approach since then. Now I only dimension the key points, keep strings short, and leave clear gaps. Has anyone else had a senior guy give feedback that made you rethink your whole drafting process?
