ĬTB is the most prevalent of plotting methods in the landscape architecture world, as well as the foundation for our original development of our software. Layer color will print a line drawn on that layer to a thickness and density determined in the Plot Style Table. CTB (Color Dependent Plot Style): Layer colors and lineweight are directly related.A layer will plot at its assigned lineweight. Lineweight: Each layer is assigned a lineweight through either the AutoCAD Layer Property Manager or Plot Style Table.You can use Color Plot Styles to plot in black and white or color. When you use CTB styles, you are essentially adapting some or all of the colors 0 through 255 to meet your office standards for plotting.

Download our CTB plotting files.ĬTB, or color-dependent, plot styles are settings for how the 256 available colors in AutoCAD will appear when you plot them, including the lineweight assigned to each color. If you set any object or layer to a Truecolor, it will print in that color. Our lfx.ctb treats all indexed colors as black, grayscale, or white. For more information on PC3 files, visit our documentation section on Creating Plotter Configuration Files (PC3). To create a new CTB plot style, visit our Create New CTB Plot Styles documentation section.ĬTB files exist separately from plotter configuration (PC3) files. To plot with one of these styles, you'll need to access its file from the Plot Style Table menu in the Page Setup dialog box.

If your office has a definite set of standards, you will want to change the Land F/X line colors to avoid conflicts between your office standard colors and the line colors presented in our software.Įach of your CTB plot styles, including the default style LFX.ctb, is stored in a file in your LandFX/Admin folder. If your office has no particular standard for plotting, you may want to consider using the default LandFX.ctb plot style. CTB is the most prevalent of plotting methods in the landscape architecture world, as well as one of the foundations of our software.
