differences in setting print thicknesses

hi to everyone, probably the question is elementary but I never had a lesson in this sense, and I still have a decent autocad manual.

what changes between making a design with the "standard" lines and then create the ctb as I need and instead draw with layers already set with thicknesses/colors?

In the end, the printing of one or another should go out the same?

I can't understand the difference, and especially how to use it at best together.
 
ctb is used to make changes to your project in print. so you can assign to each of the colors that you used the line thickness and color; e.g. red check thickness 0.1 and color in blue print, yellow thickness 0.30 and color leaves color of the object.
then all red lines will be printed in thin line 0.1 of blue color while yellows with thickness 0.30 and yellow color.

Okay.
but I say, in the end if one already knows how to print, or how to assign the thicknesses, it should change little between layers set to duty or pcb.

Sure is that if I don't know how to handle things, I use equal colors for equal objects and then I set the pcb as I prefer..right?
 
see, it also depends on how to work.
an account is for example if you work with 10 layers, another is if you get to work with 200 layers.
Sometimes it is also a matter of habit and "tastes", there are those who will tell you that the ctb is better and who will tell you instead the stb (which you did not mention). :wink:

In fact.
I speak for my drawings (architecture) from scratch made by me, if I have to take in hand another or have to work on the same with other people maybe it is best to use the ctb.

Now I look at the link and these stb:)
