What determines linewieght when plotting true colour?

    For instance:

    For a layer I select a true colour that is RGB 52,110,203. In the plot style column it will read color 173.

    Does that mean that if I plot using our standard ctb file, it will plot objects on that layer with the true colour selected, but, the lineweight, screening, etc. that we set for colour 173?

    Can someone confirm this or am I way off?
    Thanks,
    Dan

    It's no problem though. Just set the lineweight of that layer in the layer
    dialog to whatever value you like. It will come out with the lineweight
    specified in the layer dialog.

    True for ctb as well IF you set a color's lineweight to "use object
    lineweight."

    ctb then becomes somewhat more like stb in that the layer's color no longer
    determines the lineweight.
