CTB file confusion

[dbanaszak]

I'm trying to modify the pens from 250 on up by using the same settings that are in the ACAD.CTB file. I'm trying to get the same shaded values for grey scale solid fills. My NEW.CTB file was copied from a project CTB file which I modified to have the same values for pens 250-255. Unfortunately, they don't plot at all in my drawing. Any ideas? Thanx

You're going to have to share your custom CTB and a sample DWG file where it fails here for review: can you do that now?

Share your dwg as well

I don't seem to be able to drag and drop the CTB file.

[paullimapa]

zip the ctb along with sample dwg and post that

And the DWG file? Or at least a relevant portion, titleblock/client info is not needed (even though it is there in the PDF).

D'oh! Grabbed the wrong file. Sorry.

Hi,

your PDF is not the result of plot C3.0 with CivilShade.ctb

Plotting with this .ctb will hide ALL Objects with color 250-255

because they are set to print 0%

So it isn't set to the same as the original acad.ctb (also Greyscale property is different for 253)

Please, Next time: Set the sample Layout current and set pagesetup proper to what you are talking about - and what you used for the sample plot/pdf, many thanks from all helpers 😊

Have you managed to solve this problem now or do you still need support? @dbanaszak

I don't know how I overlooked that setting, but thank you for pointing it out.
