I exported DWG, pen color settings did not come. How can I get it?

When exporting DWG in ideCAD, another file with CTB extension is created. This file contains color and pen thickness settings.

The following method is followed for transferring the pen and color settings made in ideCAD to AutoCAD environment.

  • Open the folder you exported.

  • Select the file with CTB extension created when DWG Export is done and copy (CTRL + C).

  • In AutoCAD, click the Manage Plot Styles line in the Print menu .

  • Paste the CTB file (CTRL + V) into the Plot Styles window that opens .
