Changing Plot Style Table Types Plot styles are assigned to layouts in a drawing. Although each layout may use a different plot style table, each drawing may have only one type of plot style table type assigned to it. All layouts in a drawing must use all CTB files or all STB files exclusively. One drawing may not mix and match these file types. The type of plot style used in a drawing is assigned when the drawing is created. One common problem that appears in AutoCAD 2000 drawings is that Named Plot Style tables (STB files) are inadvertently assigned to a drawing, and the user wants to assign Color-Dependent Plot Style tables (CTB files) instead. Or vice versa for users who want to use Named Plot Styles. This document recommends some solutions and identifies probable causes for this problem. Before attempting to change plot style table types in a drawing, make sure that you have AutoCAD 2000 Migration Assistance (AMA) installed on your machine. You can tell that it is installed on your machine if AutoCAD 2000 Migration Assistance exists in the Start -> Programs menu of Windows. If it isn't installed, you should install it from the AutoCAD 2000, Map 4, ADT 2, or LDDT 2 CD, whichever software you own. Do a partial installation of AutoCAD Migration Assistance. AMA has two commands that you can type at the command line that will convert AutoCAD 2000 drawings from one plot style type to another. Converting a drawing from STB to CTB file types Open the drawing in AutoCAD 2000. Run the command CONVERTPSTYLES. A dialog box will appear that tells you that named plot styles will be removed from objects and layers. Click on the OK button to do this. Afterwards, you will notice that the plot styles assigned to the layers in the layer dialog box change from anmed plot styles to color_1, color_2, etc. depending on the color that is assigned to the layer. Now, when the AutoCAD drawing is plotted, its appearance is controlled by the colors of the objects on the AutoCAD screen. Next, assign a CTB file to model space or any layouts you wish to plot. After a conversion to color-dependent plot styles, no CTB is assigned to the layout tabs. Run the PAGESETUP command, and click on the Plot Device tab to assign a CTB file to the current layout. Converting a drawing from CTB to STB file types Be sure that you have an STB file created before converting the drawing to use Named Plot Styles. If you do not have an STB file to use yet, one of your CTB files may be copied and converted into an STB file. To do this, type CONVERTCTB at the AutoCAD 2000 command line. Select a CTB file to copy from, then specify a new file name for the STB file. The STB file will contain plot styles named Style 1, Style 2, etc. for as many colors with unique plot parameters in the CTB files. This means that if you have edited colors 1 through 6 in the CTB file, only 6 named plot styles will exist in the new STB table. If you wish to rename the named styles, do so now by going into the Plot Style Manager, and opening the new STB file. Next, open the drawing in AutoCAD 2000 that you want to convert to use Named Plot Styles. Run the command CONVERTPSTYLES. A dialog box will appear, warning you to have an STB Page 1 of 3 Changing Plot Style Table Types 05/27/2009 http://www.cadmasters.com/techsupp/acad/stb-ctb.html

If a template drawing is not selected, then the template drawing on the top of the list willautomatically be selected, and for most users, that is ACAD-Named Plot Styles.dwt, a templatewith named plot styles. If you want to use color-dependent plot styles, use the acad.dwt,acadiso.dwt, aec_i.dwt, or aec_m.dwt template drawings. Or, create your own template files touse in LDDT 2. You can also remove template drawing files you do not use. Template files arelocated in the Template directory of LDDT 2, or the Drawing Template File Location path in theAutoCAD Options dialog box. In any case, always select a template drawing when creating a newdrawing in LDDT 2.
