Making the jump to Civil 3d with CAD pilot's killer styles, and I just had a thought hit me. Laying out a new plan set and tweaking everything so it looks pretty with the new STB plot style. Always used a CTB up until this point, and I can see how the STB is going to be a lot more flexible.

It did get me wondering though. Since all the linework and lineweights in this plan set are now dependant on which layer the item is on, instead of the color of the item...

When I export this to an earlier version of CAD...I'm wondering if I am going to see random lineweights based on the object colors.

Will earlier versions of vanilla CAD be able to use the STB file from 2010 to plot the drawings or should I rethink what I'm doing...?

I know the magic word to convert plot style from STB to CTB...but....you see where I'm headed here?

Thanks,
Dave
