For example, I have seen firms assign red (color 1) as the thinnest line weight and white as the thickest. Most designers begin with designating line weights to the standard colors in the second palette within the Color Select toolbox comprised of colors 1 through 9. There are 256 available colors in AutoCAD.
In addition, you can choose to have objects plotted in color or black and white. While drafting, you can set up your layers and objects by color based on the desired line weight. For example, if you want to create a hierarchy in your line weights, you can assign a certain line thickness to a particular color in the plot style table. Most people associate plot styles in this manner since all layers and objects in AutoCAD have a designated color. The second is color-dependent plot style (CTB), where the plot style are set based on the object’s color.ĬTB plot style dictates how colors in AutoCAD will appear when plotted when line weights are assigned to them. The first plot style, named plot style (STB), assigns properties to an object independent of color.
Groups of plot styles are saved in two ways.
In this post, I will cover the following:Ī plot style is the assigned properties associated with an object when plotted or printed to pdf. If done correctly, plot styles ensure the readability of text and legibility of the linework within your printed documents. Plot styles are an essential component to set when plotting or printing your AutoCAD files.
