AutoCAD Pen Setting, Export to File

AutoCAD Pen Setting, Export to File

AutoCAD Pen Setting, Export to File

(OP)
I'm trying to develop our companies CAD standards.  We have a undocumented "Pen Settings" that everyone uses, but I'd like to include it in the standard.

Is there a way to export the pen setting information in AutoCAD 2007, to a file so it can then be imported into a word document?

Regards,
Dan Marr

CarlB,
Thanks for the tip, however I discovered that that utility wasn't working with my version of AutoCAD.  It was helpful in that I used the search term in Google of "Plot Style Viewer" and found out that Autodesk has a free download that did work.

I ended up going to the
http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/ps/search?la=en&siteID=123112&;catID=2334144&linkID=9240617&qt=Print+contents+of+STB+or+CTB+file&rel=5843777 (Service and Support Site, Knowledge Base, and did a search there setting the version to 2007).

Their utility did the trick, and it was free.

As a footnote, the website you reference did have some good software.

Dan Marr
