mrawesomeok Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 I have been using cad for some 10 years now so this simple thing is really bugging me. I have set my line weights for each colour in the drawing display using a CTB file but when I plot the drawing the lineweights do not diplay on the preveiw or on the paper when plotted, e.g colour 4 is to be 0.5 thickness but everything on colour 4 does not plot out like this even though there is loads of lines with colour 4 used. I have even changed the thicknesses on individual lines within the model which when cheked LWT they show but still do not print off. What am I doing wrong sure its simple but cannot see what it is.

ReMark Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Did you check to see if the .ctb has been edited? I would not expect to see lineweights show up in preview when using a .ctb unless they were assigned in the drawing using Layer Manager.
