jeaster007 Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 I am searching for a CTB file that makes a good variety of line hierarchy. I have recently changed companies and need to set up a new standard for my department. Does anyone have a standard file that they really like and think works well. I am also looking to see if there is a way to print a CTB file that will illustrate all 256 colors and line weights so I can compare.

irneb Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 You could try this online viewer: http://www.xcad.ch/tests/ctbviewer.php BTW, there's only 255 colours - 0=ByBlock and 256=ByLayer - so they're not "true" colours in themselves. Concerning our settings: All colours 1 through 9 is set to print as black. The rest is set to Object colour and 0.25mm lineweight. The lineweights for 1-9 are as follows (in order): 0.18, 0.25, 0.35, 0.50, 0.09, 0.13, 0.70, 0.10, 0.13. It really depends on your requirements, we find ours work well for us - but some other consultants like using some of those higher numbered colours set as black as well.

BIGAL Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Ditto inerb but we have two versions a thin for the laser -A3 and slightly thicker for the A0 plotter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
