Plotting with object level lineweights and a CTB file
« on: February 28, 2011, 05:27:02 PM »
First off, is it possible?
I want to follow my normal color printing scheme - based on our CTB files, but I want to be able to set the leader property in each MLeader style to have a thicker lineweight. In plot settings, I have plot with styles checked, which automatically checks plot with lineweights, but everything is always based on the pen table. Am I missing something. I can't believe I've been dealing with AutoCAD for 10+ years and this is the first time I'm having to deal with this.

As much as I *HATE* doing this, could you not just hard color the objects to a thicker pen weight?

override the color with 0,0,0 and apply a lineweight, that way it will print black, and have the lineweight you want.

Probably not the best way but command _mleaderstyle and change the color of the line to a color set at the wieght desired.

Oddly enough, for this one situation, I did just that. Thanks for the suggestions guys.
