Extracting ctb values from an existing drawing

Anonymous — Sun, 16 Feb 2020 12:20:27 GMT

Autocad 2016 here.

Hello All,

I received some drawings sheets from different department in our office.

As each department has their own CTBs, some drawings I opened has missing ctb, because I do not have their CTBs saved in my computer as I opened them.

Is there a way to extract the plot styles from these drawings?

I know I can just ask the person in each department for their CTB, but, how about if that is not an option.

Thanks! I hope my query is clear.

Hi,

if you don't have the CTB file you can't get the information about what is stored inside them.

So either asking the person who has the CTB-file or recreate it as close as possible manually.
