Structures template plot colors

WisDOT Structures follow the WisDOT plot standards . Changing the color of an element in Civil 3D will change what color it plots according to the plot style tables as explained in the WisDOT plot standards page and below.

The primary plot style table for standard plan sheets is wisdot_standard.ctb. Each AutoCAD color index (ACI) from 1-255 in the plot style table is assigned to either plot as black, gray or white for masking.

White (Masking)

The colors 249 & 255 (shown in the image above with red boxes) are for masking.

Gray

In the WisDOT CTB (color-dependent plot style tables) configuration gray is:

• every color that ends with a 1 (standard gray)
• colors 22-29 (standard gray)
• color 253 (standard gray)
• colors 243-254 (shades of gray detailed below)

These colors are shown with green boxes in the image above.

The colors 243-254 allow for more gray options:
