HI, It has been a long time since I worked with that file but I believe that the attached CTB file should work with it. If you double-click the file, it should open in the Plot Style editor. I like to use the form view tab to edit the settings.
The first thing I did was to select all the colors in the left hand window and then assign them to Black in the properties Window. I also select Screening of 100%. The next step is to now create exceptions to these settings.
Use this procedure to create standards filters. You can specify more than one standard category for a filter. If necessary, open the Layer Properties Manager by clicking Home tabLayers panelLayer Properties. In the left pane of the Layer Properties Manager, select a layer group that you want to create the new group under,.
For instance, pen 15 I like to use Color 252. You can then select each individual color on the left and assign them a standard lineweight on the right in Properties. I believe that this CTB file uses 4 different line weights. Please select the Accept as Solution button if my post solves your issue or answers your question. The problem I'm having is getting prints to plot correctly with a coordinated layer standard and ctb file.
I've have plenty of experience with AutoCad but have never edited an existing ctb file. Previous employers typically had 'standards' in place. Current employer allows each CAD user to do their own thing with very limited 'standards' in place. Are you aware of any links to tutorials on editing or creating new ctb files? Do you know if the typical AIA ctb files will work with file you provided? Employer recently purchased AutoCAD Architecture 2017 for me and it appears to have Several AIA ctb files as standard.
