Hit 1,000 drawings in AutoCAD today and it messed with my head

Honestly I wasn't keeping count until my file manager showed it, but seeing that number on a single project made me realize how much time I've sunk into one job. Anybody else ever get weirded out by the raw amount of sheets or lines they've cranked out on a single build?

Funny you mention that, my buddy was working on a warehouse layout and hit like 800 layers or something dumb. He said he closed the file and just stared at the wall for a solid five minutes. It's weird when the numbers stack up like that and you realize how many hours got swallowed.

Nah, I kinda love when the numbers get wild like that.

I get that, @sammartinez, but I think there's a point where the numbers stop being fun and just become a mess. Like Cole said, when you hit 800 layers you're not even designing anymore, you're just fighting your own file. Wild numbers are cool until you have to actually work with them, you know?
