Default easier way to measure and cut drywall?

Huh? If you use the outside of the box, once you get good at using
the RotoZip, the cut should be barely a bit's width wider than the
box.

Even if the person hanging the drywall is sloppy, the finisher can
easily finish around the box.

I've seen much worse work from hangers pre-measuring for the box or
using lipstick to mark the back of the drywall.

You are using a tracing bit, right?
