Pline width vs. ctb file

    What takes final say, the width of the pline or the ctb file that tells the color of the pline to plot a certain lineweight? We had a bunch of plines at 1/16" and the color in the ctb file is supposed to plot dark. We expected a fat dark line. What we got was a not so dark skinny line. When we changed the pline width to 0" it plotted as a darker heavier line. Brian

    That's exactly the behavior I've experienced. Apparently the pline width
    overrides the pen width in the ctb unless it's 0.00.
