View Full Version : 2012 Plotting isometric views with hidden lines

I need to plot an isometric view of an object where I can control the plotted line weights, but so far I have not figured out how to. Generally I use a .ctb file to control line weights, however when I plot the isometric view the .ctb file does not seem to be applied.

For example, the visible lines display as solid magenta lines and the hidden lines as dashed green lines. In plan view the color table plots magenta at a 1mm width and green at 0.3mm. However the isometric views all plot at the same line weights, regardless of the color. I'd appreciate any thoughts or advice on this issue.

From what I remember, most of the visual styles ignore CTB settings except for the wireframe and legacy hidden (*not* "Hidden").

The "xray" renderer might be of interest?

Darn, so if the visual styles ignore CTB settings, is anyone aware of another way to control line weights when plotting an isometric view?
