Importing ctb files

Can someone please tell me how to import my 2006 ctb files into 2013. I found 2006 file thru options, file, plotter path. Copied to plotter path in 2013. It showed up but did not plot correctly.

I think you're there. If you copied the ctb's into your current version's plot style folder, that's all you're supposed to have to do.

 

Maybe if you open the file in the new version's editor and do a Saveas. Does the Saved as file make your plots work correctly?

Agree with Tim, sounds like you did it all right.

We've been using the same CTB files since way before 2006, so there shouldn't be any versioning issues.

And make sure the plot style table (see screen grab from post above, upper right corner points to the right CTB.
