tzframpton Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 I think I've seen some posts before, but came up empty with searching the forums. I remember a few posts from some members that was talking about how the AutoCAD "Pen Table" actually originated to be compliant to old-school Pen Plotters or something to that nature. Can anyone here with more experience than I get me up to date on this? The main reason is that I'm trying to write up a proposal to my superiors regarding CTB plot style issues and I'd like to get the foundation of "what" it is and "how" it came about in development and use in the AutoCAD community. Thanks in advance! - Tannar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGAL Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Check out ISO drafting ink pens from way back say 19xx ? The Autocad main colours first 7 match ISO pen colours red green blue etc each was a different line thickness starting at .18 from memory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
