It is not plotted as the visual object color assigned in the layer or object settings. When the wisdot_standard.ctb plot style is assigned to a layout, the object color is plotted based on the (black, white or gray) color assigned to it in the plot style table. To maintain layer color consistency from previous versions, each AutoCAD color from 1-255 in the plot style table is assigned to either plot as black, gray or white for masking. This plot style table is set to plot black & grayscale. This is the primary plot style table for standard plan sheet output. The plot style tables in Civil 3D 2018 are outlined below. Each are used for creating a specific plot output. There are only two plot style tables in 2018. The object properties, layers and/or civil styles define the lineweight and the linetype. When an object color is set as ByLayer the plot style color that corresponds with the layer color is used. The 2018 plot styles are used to define the output color (black, grayscale or color) of an object. Just like the 2016 STB (named plot style tables), the CTB gives the user flexibility for custom plotting output without ever modifying the plot style table. The new WisDOT Civil 3D 2018 plot style tables are CTB (color dependent plot style tables). The Civil 3D 2018 plot style tables are different than the 2016 plot style tables.
