Overheard a senior civil drafter say she never uses paper prints for field markups anymore

She just pulls the PDF up on a tablet with a stylus and syncs it straight back to the model, has anyone else switched to digital redlines for site revisions?

She'd probably cry if she saw my redlined prints folded sideways in the truck...

Man, I feel you on that. There's something about seeing a set of prints all marked up and folded weird that just hits different, you know? My old mentor would've killed me for treating drawings that way, but hey, they got the job done. It's like the mess shows the real work that went into it, the late nights and the quick fixes. Doesn't make it pretty, but it makes it honest. I bet she'd understand if she saw the finished result and how much effort got jammed into those creases.
