I am setting up a CTB line weights file from scratch for a student project. I was originally taught to only use CTB files when exporting my drawings. However, it makes it difficult to draw in model space because I can't see the line weights. Is there a method to import the lines weights and types into the layers properties palette in model space. 

I hope this question makes sense. I attached two screen shots.

Or will I need to manually enter line weight and types into both the CTB file and the layers palette? I hope not... ! 

Thank you for answering in advance. 

Sincerely, Tricia
