Use the upper-number gray colors between #250 and #254 for a range of screened tones from 10% to 80%, which resemble the appearance of the on-screen colors.You can still mix in black linework by using colors #1 through #7. Use the colors between #10 and #249 for true-color printing tasks, such as making solid-color hatches in colored presentation plans or colored elevations.Use #9 sparingly, since it may not reproduce as well as the heavier line weights. Color #9 (light gray) is the thinnest black line of all.Color #8 (medium gray) is set to a 50% screened black, providing a high-quality medium-gray line when using a non-color printer.Use colors #1 through #7 for ascending thicknesses of black-printing lines, from 0.13 mm through 0.80 mm.The line weight choices set up in the downloadable CTB plot style table, and reflected in the Lineweights Visualizer, are based on my years of experience helping firms set up CAD standards. Or just adopt and use the settings I’ve provided in the downloads if you prefer. Since it’s a DWG file, you can easily edit it to reflect your own office’s standards. I recommend giving a paper-printed copy to everyone on your team, so that they get a visual sense of the line weights as they will actually print on paper. I’ve been using an earlier form of this visualizer for years, and it is the handiest tool ever. It is designed to be printed using either a color or black-and-white printer.

If you’re in doubt about line weights and would like an easy, ready-made solution, you’re in luck! I’ve created an all-purpose, color-based (CTB) Plot Style Table file and I’m offering it to my readers as a free download. If that describes you, you’re in the right place. Many newer AutoCAD users, and younger design firms, may be unsure how best to control line weights, and which line weights they should use. Most older design firms have established their office standards for controlling line weights. The type of plot style used is indicated in the Plot style section of the Properties box, as shown at left. You can easily determine whether an existing DWG file is set up for CTB or STB plot styles by going into model space and opening the Properties dialog box (by typing Ctrl-1) with nothing selected. For further information on converting a drawing’s plot style between CTB and STB, take a look at the CONVERTPSTYLES and CONVERTCTB commands. It’s not easy to change from one to the other after the drawing is started.
