Pro tip: double check your layer states before sending a file

I was in the middle of a big site plan for a project in Tampa and sent the PDF to the engineer. He called back immediately because all the utility lines were on the wrong layer and didn't print. I had to re-export everything and rush it over, which cost me an hour. Anyone else have a go-to method for a final layer check before hitting send?

Honestly, my final check is just a quick zoom out to see the whole drawing on screen. If something major is missing, it's usually obvious at a glance. That saved me more times than checking every single layer.

That's a solid method. I do something similar with my route sheets before I head out. Glance at the whole thing spread on the table instead of reading each address line by line. A missing street just pops out. Saves me from having to double back later.
