BANG? I am starting to feel threatened. Or am I misunderstanding? Think I better take the rest of the day off to heal.
 
I believe the increased number of drawings has more to do with the inexperience of the "cad operators" than either technology or regulations. I look at drawings from early 1900s and they were masterful in showing details right on the plans. Try to do a wall section detail in a circle on the wall in the plan in cad. Not easy. If you're the lead designer for a project, try to review a 1000 sheet set for coordination, what 30 years ago was under 100 sheets.

CAD has allowed subs to bid at cost and rely on change orders for their profits.

So I'm a dinosaur. Many things are better and should not go back, but A&E deliverables need help.
