Update: I thought my old way of setting up a title block was fine until a client asked for a tiny change.

Last Tuesday, I was finishing a set of foundation plans for a house in Austin. The client wanted the project number moved to the top right corner, not the bottom. My title block was one big block in my template, so moving one piece meant redrawing the whole thing, which took me over an hour. I finally rebuilt it with separate, grouped pieces for each bit of info. Has anyone else had to redo their standard template from scratch because of one small request?

The real crime is how long you defended the old way.

Oh man, that's the worst kind of time sink.

Tell me about it. Feels like you blink and two hours are gone. The worst part is you never even feel good about it after. Just empty and annoyed at yourself.
