Printing or exporting CTB settings

[autocad.wishlist1734]

Summary: It would be helpful if the plot styles manager gave us the ability to print the CTB settings or export them to an Excel spreadsheet for the purposes of documentation.


Description: I have been doing print screens and test plots to try and document our CTB settings for sometime now and this is a timeconsuming and tedious task. It would be very helpful if the plot styles manager gave us the ability to print the CTB settings or export them to an Excel spreadsheet for the purposes of documentation.

As the CAD Manager for a Landscape Architectural firm of around 8 AutoCAD users, we are using ever increasingly complex plot styles and the users create many custom pen tables as well to accomplish particular tasks. The ability to quickly document and compare pen table settings would be a real big help for us overworked CAD Managers.

Tableprint8 can export a CTB file's contents to a comma delimited text file, which can then be opened in most spreadsheet programs. It is a free tool offered by Autodesk:
