    CTB Plot file location?

    I am testing the new 2012 ACA. Where do I find the Plot files this time. Seems like it changes with each new operating system or ACA release.

     

    Thank you in advance for your help.

    STYLESMANAGER command since AutoCAD went to WIndows has always pulled up the location in Windows Explorer for you.

     

    And OPTIONS command>Files Tab has an entry to list this location, and it also has always allowed you to ALWAYS specify one location you can always use all the time regardless of AutoCAD/ACA/Windows changes.

     

    Or are you looking for somethng else?

    Thank you for your help. I will never know as much as you do. I am only trying to get a little help. I am sorry if my question is frustrating you. After reviewing your kind answer, I am still not able to find the folder where I can drop my CTB file into. Any further advice or is there and easy way to do this?

    No frustration, you indicated a change that is really not an issue for AutoCAD users to resolve easily.

     

    At the command line, type STYLESMANAGER: does WIndows explorer open? Do you see other plot style tables listed?

     

    OR is your real question that when you plot it only lists STB and you want to use CTB?
