    Default Complete ignorance of STB's

    I have been sent a file that uses STB's in its plot menu.

    Our standards here is to use a named CTB file, the plot menu will not allow me to access our ctb library.

    What setting controls this? Can I change it back to using .ctb files.

    My path settings are right so i guess that am missing a switch somewhere.

    Many thanks

    Richard

    Hi

    Check out the following Technical Document on the Autodesk web site under the Knowledge Base section -

    ID: TS35475 - Convert drawings to use color-dependent plot styles

    +

    Have a browse of the following threads -

    Why are .ctb file's hiding?

    Plot style tables unavailable in a particular drawing

    Difference b/w stb and ctb

    Have a good one, Mike

    Thanks Mike / Mlynn

    It was the convertpstyles command.

    Would never have found it myself. Don't get on with acad help perhaps I'm not patient enough

    Regards

    Richard
