    Default Plot problems with Realistic and other view modes

    Hi!
    I'm trying to plot my 3D model with materials applied on it in realistic view mode but even if the textures are well printed the border lines are printed with the layer colour ignoring the .CTB where i've put the in black with the wonted thickness. Switching the view mode in 2D Wireframe the .ctb works but the textures are gone. Is there a way to stamp with the textures and with controlled lineweights and colours because .stb and .ctb filed are not working?
    Even with hidden or other view typer other than 2D Wireframe the .ctb is not working

    Questions:
    1. are you plotting from model tab or layout tabs with viewports? (governs where you tell the program to shade plot)
    2. are you letting the plot style govern lineweights on plots or are you setting lineweights in the layer manager. (layer lineweights override plot style table lineweights)

    From model tab plotting, in plot manager, set Shaded Viewport Options to Realistic, set plot style table, then plot.
    From layout tabs with viewports plotting, select the viewport, look at properties, change Shade Plot to Realistic, escape, open plot manager, set plot style table, then plot.

    Works for me in both cases.

    Note: Do you know about the lineweight settings dialog? There you can specify the default line weight and other useful settings. (lweight at the command line) The standard default is 0.25mm. Be careful, some business have their own standard default lineweight.
