With getting people to follow good practices. It's always difficult, but I like to lead by example and not only talk the talk, but walk the walk and show them that it's better to think about how to dimension a set of holes with actual design intent and challenge yourself to think of using as little dimensions as possible and more relations. I've noticed in doing this the first few times it does take a little longer to develop your parts, but in the long run when you understand real design intent it actually takes less time. Also it's easier for someone coming behind to understand how and why you did what you did and makes it easier to update and manage 10 fold than without.

See, you can teach an old dog new tricks.
BTW - nice surprise shots on the surfacing book post. I just ordered mine today to see what it was you were so excited about ;c)
