Hi,

Type STYLEMANAGER command. Add your style manger when the file explorer appear. Then It's recommended to restart your AutoCAD.

Hi,

1. The command is styleSmanager, it open winexplorer in folder with the wizard, you already found and started (Picture2)

2. Is it a new install?

3. The main question is: Why is your folder (open by using styleSmanager) is empty ?

I guess this folder is empty except the wizard - .exe file?

What is the folder name&path?

If it is a new install, I would prefer to do a "Reset to default" and if it doesn't all the problems (I can't think the pstyle thing is the only one)

Turn on win user admin rights, deinstall, reinstall.

4. Using wizard: Don't select 'Import from pcp/pc2 (Or did you upgrade from R14 and older?)

Use "Start from scratch"

1. The command is styleSmanager, it open winexplorer in folder with the wizard, you already found and started (Picture2)

After using the style management command, my document folder is opened. I don’t know what to do next, just like the folder popped up in the first step in the video.

2. Is it a new install?

Yes, I've reinstalled today, but the settings are the same as before

3. The main question is: Why is your folder (open by using styleSmanager) is empty ?

I guess this folder is empty except the wizard - .exe file?

What is the folder name&path?

I got this path and it still didn't working

If it is a new install, I would prefer to do a "Reset to default" and if it doesn't all the problems (I can't think the pstyle thing is the only one)

Turn on win user admin rights, deinstall, reinstall.

I try it，It's not working.

4. Using wizard: Don't select 'Import from pcp/pc2 (Or did you upgrade from R14 and older?)

Use "Start from scratch"

Because the path for plotter configuration path, is wrong
also your plotystyle support path, is wrong
and I guess a lot more is going wild

A.)
   Turn on win user admin rights,
B.)
    deinstall,
C.)
    reinstall
D.)
   Start Acad and test / close Acad
E.)
   set your win user rights back to noemal.
F.)
   Start Acad and test again

3. >>"I got this path and it still didn't working"
     I asked about the folder-content. The Options/files/ you showed, is another support path - not for plotstyles

   Turn on win user admin rights, deinstall, reinstall.
I try it，It's not working.
With Administration rigfhts? I can't image! Try it again, with admin rights and all Anti-virus programs off.
Or are you refering to this picture below? That's again not what I am talking about, this is the (reset) PROFILE,
I was talking about Reset AutoCAD! https://www.autodesk.com/support/technical/article/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/How-to-reset-AutoCAD-to-defaults.html

4. Use "Start from scratch"
I guess teh plot style wizard is much older and is not the right one for your version.

But this problem will fixed when you did a clean successful installation.
(Please make sure, NO wizard .EXE in your personal plot style folder / if present: Delete this .exe )

I like and prefer to start from scratch!

But if you like trying to fix the issues, here we go, set your support files:

Share a win-explorer screenshot of the content of the last folder ( support path for plot styles folder)

Are there standard .ctb and .stb files, + the wizzard link?
