Purpose of the PCP File

[davidcobi]

When Revit exports to a DWG it automatically creates a PCP file. We assumed that the purpose of the PCP file was to Plot the same lineweights in AutoCAD but when we tried plotting a Revit File vs. a DWG file we find that the lineweights don't look anything alike. We've been generating a CTB file from the PCP file. Are we doing something wrong or is there no way to get an AutoCAD plot that looks exactly like the Revit Plot?

Thanks. I still didn't find an answer. It looks like the plotter is still plotting the colors in greyscale instead of plotting with th Revit lineweights.

Have you checked on your standard plotter/printer settings.
If it was set up at print to greyscale that is what you will get.
Horrible preset setting

Under Custom Properties I changed Graphic... Colour... from Greyscale to True Black and White Vector. Now everything prints black. The wall hatch and paterns should be grey. I guess I'll have to call AutoDesk about this one. Thanks.
