AUGH!!! A recent merger has caused some issues. One of the firms are using Bentley products (MicroStation and ProejctWise (PW)). Their workflow plots pdf's automatically from PW and they use one CTB to plot both AutoCAD and MicroStation files. Since AutoCAD can plot using either Pen colors or layer pen weights the CTB only allows for the use of pen widths assigned to the layers. This is obviously causing some problems since LandFX preferences controls layer pen widths by color.
I believe that in the end this may be a good think as it will force standards among offices using PW (I'm a proponent for standards). Unfortunately it's going to be painful getting there. I think that we will need to create a master DWT that can be used by both offices using LandFX and those not (so sad).
Does anyone have a suggestion as to how I can produce a DWT or a LAS that includes the assigned pen widths by layer that includes all of the layers that are in a preference set as well as any other layers that LandFX creates on the fly?
Also, if I'm looking at this from the wrong direction, please feel free to adjust my perspective. Sarcasm is okay too.
