test plots

[jtb503]

I tried searching this and couldnt come up with anything so here goes. I am fairly new working for my company. I dont mind asking around for help, but i would much rather see if anyone on here knows the answer so i do it on my own so to speak.

I want to prepare a test plot that shows all the different lineweights and colors, so when i plot i know what each color looks like when it plots. I am printing black and white but the colors have certain weights associated. I would like to be able to do this without drawing a bunch of lines and changing colors.
Any ideas?

There are some sample files that come with AutoCAD. I use one of my own files that gives me a better idea of how things will look.
