Spent $200 on a 'pro' drafting template pack that was just a mess
I bought a digital template bundle last month, thinking it would speed up my floor plan work. The layers were a total jumble, with no clear naming system, and half the blocks were drawn at the wrong scale. It took me over four hours just to sort out the basics before I could even start my own project. Has anyone found a template source that's actually organized and ready to use?

What finally made you check the reviews? I used to grab the first template that looked good, figuring all that stuff was basically the same. Then I got burned by a pack just like yours, total garbage layers. Now I won't buy anything unless I can see a real sample file or a video walkthrough first. It changed my whole process. That quick preview shows you the layer names and scale before you waste your money.

Three bad packs taught me that, @bell.jessica.

That preview thing is the only way to go now honestly. A video walkthrough shows you exactly how sloppy their layer naming really is. I wasted way too much money before I figured that out myself. Those sample files will save you hours of cleanup work later on.
