I used to draw every single dimension line manually in AutoCAD 2016, but now I just use the 'QDIM' command. When did you switch from old habits to new tools?

Old habits to new tools" is the real journey. I switched when I realized the old way was just stubborn pride. Now I save the effort for actual design problems.

But what finally made you see it as pride? Like were you sticking with manual typesetting because "real designers" do it that way, or was it something else? I held onto sketching every wireframe by hand for way too long, thinking digital tools made things too stiff. Turns out I was just scared of the learning curve.
