Importing .stb files into drawing

[pserpas]

When I do a search for importing .stb files into a drawing, plenty comes back for .ctb files but nothing on .stb.  Anyone know of a command to do this?

Type Convertpstyles at the command prompt to switch in between both.

I am having the same issue with Autocad 2014....

I have used the CONVERTPSTYLES command & created an .STB file from a .ctb, but it does not show up in the dropdown on the Plotstyle table.

I work with blocks that have many  attributes that are drawn in yellow & I need them to print black!

Somewhat off-topic: better quality screen shots than using a camera.  Find the PRT SCR button on your keyboard (this might require the use of an extra FN or similar key).  Open Paint or another image editor and paste from clipboard.  Clip the relevant part of the image and save it as a PNG.  If you do it a lot, invest in a screen grab program.

Back on topic: the drawing you are printing hasn't been converted to style-based.  The only way for CTB files to be listed in the plot dialog is for the drawing to be color-based.

I use furniture blocks from CAP Studio. They are drawn in yellow.

When I print using monochrome.ctb, the yellow plots as a pale grey.

I am trying to print them in black.
