Hippocrates of Greece is famous for many things, not least of which is the Hippocratic Oath sworn by doctors. It begins “First, do no harm.” This is not a bad approach to take when editing existing drawings with AutoCAD whether the drawings were created originally by you or by someone else. Although it usually takes several days to accomplish several days of productive work, you can accidentally undo days or weeks of work by yourself and others in minutes.

Follow these guidelines to avoid doing harm to the hard work of others and the productive potential of yourself.
