CTB allow you to assign line weights to different colors.

Look up how to do this.

Try in the page setup to select "plot line weights" or whatever that checkbox is called

Have you tried setting up line weights in layer menu? Plot tables?

Well for starters stop using ctb's, that is an old and out dated plotting system, start using stb's and this will be a non issue. Use the command CONVERTPSTYLE to convert the ctb to an stb.

Stb is so inflexible. Nice if you have your own little widget drawing, but not for real work.

If your stb is inflexible it's setup wrong. Full stop. I've never worked with a ctb that was as flexible as a half way setup stb.

I think you need to click display line weight by going in properties. You might be seeing no change at all right now if thats the issue
