    Default Plot Styles missing

    I am currently using both AutoCAD 2005 and Autodesk Land Desktop 2005, the Land Desktop really being new to me inasmuch as I have never done civil work before. However my current problem occurs in both of the 2005 formats. After coping an existing plot style (CTB) from our standards, to the appropriate directory I can only access it in 2 out of ten drawings that I am trying to plot. I have also created new plot files and can only get them to show up in the same two drawings. All of the settings are the same in all of the drawings. Although They are color dependent styles I am trying to plot in Black and White. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks.

    It sounds like the other drawings may be using a named plot style, instead of the color dependent plot style. You could use the CONVERTPSTYLES command to convert from one style to the other.

    {WARNING} Make a backup of the drawing prior to running the command, in case this is not what you are needing.

    You may want to try using the Plotting forum for a better response.

    Hi David,

    I have moved your post from the New Users forum to the plotting forum because, as Richard says, you will get a better response here.

    Thanks,

    Thanks,
    I was able to correct the problem by following the responce to a similiar problem, I just used the CONVERTPSTYLES command and that allowed the CTB plotstyles to be accepted.
