Folk's the ability to assign a color to each code "layer" is wonderful.
It makes the map so much more intuitive. I bet a crisp $20 that most surveyors can relate to whats drawn and find the creek, the sewer easement, the building, back curb, edge of asphalt, whatever now very easily. I bet most of you guys can pick out the layers (features) just by looking at the map. With no text as well. Take a look below. This is a subdivision of a Kidney dialysis plant and an asbuilt I did a little while ago. I just imported the drawing after setting up the color for each of my codes. I'm very happy about this improvement.
