My mentor told me to always double-check the source file before plotting, and I finally get it.

I was rushing a set of MEP plans last week and sent a D-size to the plotter without looking. It pulled from an old revision, wasting a full sheet of vellum and 20 minutes. Has anyone else had a plotter eat a drawing because of a simple file mix-up?

Oh, the old revision trap. That exact mistake has cost me more vellum than I care to admit.

Yeah, used to think it was just part of the process until a comment from @the_miles made me see how much time it wastes.
