Great video. At 5:30 you mention to use layers to control objects and to stay away from "Layer Controls" except in certain situations. I'm pretty sure you meant to stay away from the "Object Properties" panel at almost all costs. Always leave the properties settings at "ByLayer" when possible.
Thank you for posting these videos! I've been using AutoCAD for 12 years now and still find myself going to youtube to find out new ways to become a more efficient drafter. I have a question, is there a function you can use to change ALL the lines in a drawing (even in blocks) back to their default layer properties? I get drawings all the time where people have made EVERYTHING into blocks and in those blocks they alter the layer colors, lightweights, and I know there's got to be an easy way to change these back but haven't found out the best way to do it.
