Warning: I was shocked to learn how much drafting software has changed since I started

Honestly, I was looking through some old project files from 2005 and realized the software we used then could only handle about 500 layers before it started lagging. Found that out in a trade magazine article comparing old and new programs. Anyone else remember those limits?

My buddy's old firm had a project crash because their 2003 software hit a hard limit of 512 layers. They lost a whole day's work, lol.

Bet @paul_webb45's buddy wishes they'd hit save more often, that limit sounds brutal.

Oh man, that brings back memories. I used to get around that by splitting my project into separate files for each major section and just linking them together. Saved my skin more than once when I'd push past some hidden limit.
