Can you relate to the sentence:" we'll give you CAD files so that SHOULD reduce your work by half"? It used to be present when flatCAD drawings were the norm. Savy CAD managers learned to deal with these issues and many company manuals had systems and processes in place. The ‘bylayer’ word still rings warning bells for me.
