Look into CONVERTPSTYLES and/or CONVERTCTB

Just copy the CTB file to the other PC's Plot Styles folder (Plot Styles Manager…).

Plot Styles aren't saved in the drawing, they're referenced.

@Anonymous ,

To avoid missing or having different CTB on many computers, consider placing all your CTB in a network location and then adding that location to your profile OPTION setting.

Hi,

If parts of your projects are missing you have add this parts to make your project complete.

If a CTB file is part of your project and you send the data to someone else or open this on a different workstation, you can't just copy the DWG and that's it.

Best to get all referenced data together is to run command _ETRANSMIT inside AutoCAD, then you get the DWG and all referenced files like XRef, images, CTB/STB, ... into one ZIP and that contains everything necessary to continue the work.

Details to _ETRANSMIT: >>>click<<<
