I finally understood why my section views were always a mess

I was rushing the cut line placement for years, but a senior drafter in Charlotte showed me his 2-minute setup trick that locks everything down. Has anyone else had a simple fix that saved them hours of cleanup?

Oh man, I read a blog post once that called it "preemptive drafting." The guy said to always draw your cut line on a separate, non-plotting layer first, then run the section command using that as your guide. It forces you to think about the alignment before you even make the view.

Sometimes the cleanup is part of the learning process though.

Read a tip about using a temporary guide layer.
