A drafting shortcut bit me hard when a whole batch got scrapped

I used to copy old layers to save a few minutes on new projects. This time, I didn't update the revision notes from a similar past job. The shop built fifty units with the wrong bolt pattern before anyone noticed. Now I start every drawing fresh, even if it takes longer. Copying without thinking is just asking for trouble, and I won't do it again.

How much time did you really save, if you count the time to fix fifty units?

Counting the fix time, we actually lost about three days total.
