    Smile CTB File Printing

    In the old, old old version 14, you could print off a text file for all your pen settings, etc in your file (can't remember the extension for the old *.ctb files) - can you do the same with the new CTB files - I just started a new job and really need to learn what colors will print which way......

    Thanks people :~)

    There is a lisp routine out there somewhere, I am pretty positive someone else has posted this question before, try searching the forum for your question, other than that, you can always just print out the attached drawing using the ctb file to determine how things print. We usually use it to determine the best color (or at least we used to until we upgraded to 2005)

    The print size is 36X11

    I wish they would make a color chart like that for the new Pantone, etc. colors for AutoCAD 2005 & 2006.
