AutoCAD for the Modern Office
Sheet sets, block standardisation, plot routines — the long tail of DWG work.

xref vs block: the boundary that breaks weekly
xrefs are great until they nest three deep. Blocks are great until they need a project-wide update. A working rule for when to use each.
AutoCAD electrical layer naming for AEC handover
Layer names look trivial until they collide with the architect's federation. A naming pattern that survives multi-discipline handover.
Why your CAD standards aren't followed (and how to enforce them)
CAD standards documents exist on every project. They're obeyed on roughly 30 % of them. The difference is enforcement, not the document.
