Plot Style (CTB) Files

 
Included with the install are two CTB files for controlling the pen weight settings when printing:
MFL-FullSize.ctb     - for prints / plots that are full size i.e. no scaling
MFL-Reduction.ctb     - for prints / plots that are reductions i.e. scaled or scaled to fit.
 
Upon installation they are placed in the folder in the folder:
  • For Autodesk® AutoCAD® / Autodesk® AutoCAD LT® - C:\Program Files\MonkeyFlow\CADflow\DWT
  • For Bricsys® BricsCAD® - C:\Program Files\MonkeyFlow\CADflow_BricsCAD\DWT
     
    Once CADflow has been installed the CTB files will automatically be copied to your AutoCAD / BricsCAD location path for Plot Styles files.
