CTB problems
Hello Everyone!
So I just upgraded from CAD 2018 to CAD 2022, and for some reason when I import the CTB that I been using for quite some time now it doesn't overwrite the settings. When I plot, all my lines are super thick and is not reading the correct CTB line weights. I imported the CTB in the right location but for some reason is not detecting my settings, can someone please let me know what I'm doing wrong? I need to submit a set of plans tomorrow to the client and Im desperate.
Please see attached my screenshots how is currently plotting vs how it was a week ago before upgrading to 2022
Thanks

I haven't used CTB files in decades, I prefer using lineweights, white screen background, and black/gray line colors when making 2d construction drawings. BUT...
Have you verified in "Plot options" in the plot dialog box, that "Plot object lineweights" is unchecked (desireable if you are using CTB files) and "Plot with plot styles" is checked?

That might be your problem. If you are using CTB files, you should un-check "Plot object lineweights".

Your CTB file sets yellow to .01", which is .25mm. But your layer properties sets that layer to .09mm. Since your CTB file is measuring in inches, try setting that yellow to 0.004" to match the .09mm setting in the layer properties.
Or... since you have lineweights set for those layers, don't use the CTB file, just use object lineweights and don't use plot styles.
