Pen styles missing on a consultant's drawing |
|
|
We have a bunch of drawing files from another architect's office that we need to plot. When I go to plot, I discover that all of my plot styles are missing. Our office has about 30 different plot styles, but the only ones that show up in the drop-down box is None, acad.stb, and New. This is the fist time something like this happened - usually files from consultants would be missing their particular pen settings, but we are always able to select one of ours. Any idea of why this might be happening?
Thanks,
Inga

Are you expecting to see .ctb files and you are only seeing .stb's listed?
If so the drawing is set to use .stb's. Use the CONVERTPSTYLES to convert
the drawing.

Could be that the drawing was associated with a CTB file rather than STB.
Try typing convertpstyles at the command line to associate the dwg with STB rather that CTB.
I know this works going the opposite direction.

A DWG can be set to either STB or CTB plot style table: this setting ignores
whatever you have your system or AutoCAD session set to.
CONVERTPSTYLES command should let you change the settings.
