Keith,

So you use the lineweight by layer (lweight) setting correct?  I use polyline width (setvar 'plinewid) in the drawing. The only thing I don't like about lweight display is when you zoom out, the lines appear to get wider and wider.

I guess either or works....just depends on user preference.

Ours is based on BS:1192, but using the AutoDesk CISfd codes, and further amended to our specific needs for Building services.

BS:1192 is just guidlines, it is not very good, but the AUtoDesk layer are spot on, and I think are becoming industry standard!

The layer codes work for drawing numbers as well.

The vertical program we use makes all the layers for us as well as sets polyline width and or linetype when needed. Anything drawn not using the normal tools is a lisp routine that takes care of the above. I've been using Keith's VBA code to ensure all viewports are created on layer viewport, xrefs on layer xref, dimensions on layer dimension....and others.

Our CTB file is setup using 8, 84, and 253 as the only colors shaded back (253 being the most shaded). All pen weights are set to .01", so if a line needs plot out fatter, the polyline width is changed.

This system seems to be fairly simple, straight forward, and "new hires" have not had much trouble grasping it.

Ron and Keith,

Can you guys give me some help  on this issue.  It's exactly the problem we are having.  ADT puts everything on it's layers so if we print with our pen settings it looks like garbage.  Any idea how to work this out?
