PSA: Watching a machinist set up his table at a trade show in Denver fixed my tool indexing

I was at the Denver Build Expo last month and stopped to watch an old guy set up his drafting table. He marked every 3 inches with a sharpie on the edge and it saved him 10 minutes per layout. Has anyone else tried marking your rulers or tables like that?

Watch a guy with a sharpie and suddenly you're doing permanent marker calligraphy on all your tools. Next thing you know you'll be timestamping your lunch breaks with a tape measure.
