Can we talk about dimensioning to the center of a wall?

I keep seeing prints from other shops where they dimension to the face of a stud. Did a remodel in Tampa last month and the framers were off by a full inch on every interior wall. It matters because everything from cabinets to plumbing stacks gets thrown off. I was taught to always dimension to the centerline, that way the framing crew can adjust for plate thickness. My old boss called it 'the only way that doesn't create a domino effect of errors'. Anyone else run into this on commercial jobs, or is it just a residential thing?

Centerline's the only way to avoid the mess @daniel552 mentioned.

Seems like a framing crew problem, not a print problem.
