Acad2000 Plot Style Table Problem

Acad2000 Plot Style Table Problem

Acad2000 Plot Style Table Problem

(OP)
Hi All,
I've got a problem with the Plot style table defaulting to a differant .ctb than the one I want to use.
Here are the details:

We have 3 differant plotters that we use.  We want to use 4 differant .ctb settings (one for each plotter and one for a plot to file setting).  Under the "Page setup name" I have saved each plotter and plot to file option with the differant .ctb we want to use.

Now the problem - when we change from one "Page setup name" to another the "Plot style table" tables shows the correct .ctb setting but prints using one that was originally displayed (proof - if we do a preview and cancel, the original .ctb is displayed with whichever plotter was selected).

The only way I've been able to override this is to select the correct .ctb and say yes when the "Assign this plot table to all layouts?" dialog shows.   This now saves the current .ctb as the default and we have the same problem all over again when we use a differant plotter.

The idea behind this was to make it easy for all the drafters and engineers to use the correct settings without thinking about it or having to remember the proper settings.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks,
