Publishing a pdf (originally drawn in AC) uisng .ctb file for line weights

[John Whyte]

Im working on a project were someones done a drawing in Autocad, they've done the drawing in the design layer (in AC its called a model space) they've then created a viewport which is in a sheet layer.

When printing / publishing i want to use their .ctb file to manage the line weights, how can i do this ?

I read the following (below) from a whats new in VWX 12 pdf i found online, does anyone know more about this ?

Support for DXF/DWG Color to Line Weight Matching

VectorWorks now supports reading and writing of CTB files, automatically mapping color to line weights for you, and includes additional improvements to the mapping process.

That works during DWG import, the CTB file merely needs to be present in the same folder as the DWG file, but I do not believe it can be used separately from the DWG import process.

Need the .ctb file be generated from the dwg file i want to import? Or need it only to have the same position on the folder?

 

thanks
