Plot File

Hi All,

I want to assign colour 252 to the lines in a block as it prints out slightly faded. . Only problem is I find colour 252 a bit difficult to see on my monitor as I have a black background. Can I assign the same settings to another colour ? (e.g colour 31)

Regards

Phil

when you use a .ctb you can take determine how an object is printed based on its color in AutoCAD. So you can put your line in color 31 and then print with your .ctb that defines all color 31 objects as printing with color 252.

You can also set linetypes, lineweights and other printing overrides this way all based on your .ctb

Thanks Michiel,

That works. I normally don't touch the ctb file so am not that clued up on it.

Regards

Phil
