How to import plot styles

nana4ZK8H — Fri, 19 May 2017 07:12:01 GMT

I'm new in AutoCad, and when I was exporting layouts 1:10 to PDF in plot style monochrome, most details were unclear due to the plot style monochrome(se picture).

I have other options to choose in my plot style manager, such as gray scale and acad, but none of them looks good.

I have tried on a fellow students autocad, were I selected grayed monochrome, and the layout looked good plotted in PDF.

How can I get this plot style?

Hope anyone can help me, and thank you

Nana

Hi,

>> How can I get this plot style?

Plotstyles are defined in files with extension .CTB or .STB

Open your student AutoCAD, start command _STYLESMANAGER, find the file you used as plot style and copy that file to a temporary folder.

Then open your current AutoCAD, start the same command and copy the file from the temp-folder to this current folder.

Next time you start AutoCAD you will see the copied file in the list of plotstyles.
