Applies to:
- AutoCAD 2006
- AutoCAD 2007
- Not Tested but may apply to earlier versions of AutoCAD.
Problem:
My normal plot styles – also know as CTB plot styles – do not show in the plot dialog box. This is commonly found when I recieve consultant drawings from outside of my office.
Reason:
The consultant is using a STB not a CTB system (style dependant style VS color dependant style). Further reading on the difference between this two can be found in the AutoCAD Help Files.
Solution:
Run the CONVERTPSTYLES command to convert STB style drawings to CTB style drawings.
