Rant: A senior guy at the Denver office told me to never use the 'match properties' tool. He said it makes you lazy.

Just use the tool and get the work done right.

Wait, that’s wild. Match properties is a basic tool, not a cheat. Does he want you to manually pick every color and line weight every single time? That just wastes hours.

Read a blog post that called it a "consistency tool," not a shortcut.

My old boss had the same take, calling it a crutch. But a training course I took framed it as the smart way to enforce standards. Manually copying styles just opens the door for tiny mistakes.
