We are beginning to try and use more lineweights with our layers in order to work better with Microstation. My question though is this - if you have both a lineweight associated with a layer and still plot with a ctb file - which pen weight would AutoCAD use when you are plotting?
I am familiar with the settings within the plot dialog box - but in 2012 you can have BOTH plot by lineweight AND use plot styles selected at the same time. So which one does AutoCAD use?
My problem would be this - we want drawings that use an assigned lineweight to use those widths regardless of what pen table someone is using. I do not want to switch to a stb file system yet. I want to continue to use the ctb pen tables we have created as many users are familiar with those - but want to begin the transition to an stb pen table by getting users familiar with lineweights.
Thanks,
Greg-
