Convert .stb to .ctb in Autocad 2002
Convert .stb to .ctb in Autocad 2002
(OP)
Dear Folks;
I often get drawings for which I have to make black & white check prints. When the plot style is set to monochrome.stb and I print, I don't get black & white. Why is this ?
When I create my own drawings my plot style is allways monochrome.ctb and that prints black & white as you would expect.
To convert monochrome.stb to .ctb I have often imported the stb drawing into a known .ctb file then resaved it. But this is probably not the proper way to go about things.
Does anyone have any simple ways to take an existing drawing with plot style monochrome.stb and get it to print out in monochrome like it should ?
Best Regards
Adrian D.

Try this: Tools -> Options -> Plotting and check 'Use color dependent plot styles' radio button in a gotten drawing. Then you should able to select *.ctb plot styles.
Hope helped.

Unfortunately that only applies to NEW drawings and I have that box already checked. Its the existing drawings created with .stb plot style that I want to change.
