What is a CTB?

CTB, which stands for color-dependent plot styles, represents a configuration that determines the appearance of the 256 colors available in AutoCAD during plotting.

These styles enable users to customize how each of the 256 colors will be rendered when printed or plotted, providing flexibility in terms of visual output.

Alongside color adaptation, CTB styles also allow for the assignment of lineweights to specific colors. This feature is crucial for ensuring that the plotted output meets the desired visual standards.

By utilizing CTB styles, AutoCAD users can effectively align their plotting preferences with office standards. This is particularly beneficial in professional environments where consistent plotting practices are essential.

The process of adapting colors 0 through 255 through CTB styles involves selecting the appropriate settings that reflect the office's plotting requirements. This ensures that the final plotted output is both accurate and visually appealing.
