Plot Style Table Search Path

[Anonymous]

Hi,
I have done some programming in VBA to change the Plot Style Table Search Path to a new path and it works fine. The code is as follows:

ThisDrawing.ActiveLayout.RefreshPlotDeviceInfo
newPlotStylePath = "N:\ADT33\PlotStyles"
AcadPref.Files.PrinterStyleSheetPath = newPlotStylePath

But if I change the path manually once and then run this program, the new path is displayed in the Plot Style Table Search Path, but it shows coloured drawing when Full Preview is viewed and even Plotting crashes if I don't view the Full Preview. Is this because the device is not reading the .ctb file? Why is this happening? Please help. I think this is a major issue and many users face this problem. Please help.
Thanks

it does not work when done via vlisp as well. You have to close autocad
and then come back it to get it to use the ctb from that new path.
