Autocad 2013 plot styles

In my student version of Autocad for Mac 2013, it can't seem to locate the plot style folder. When I click 'File - Plot Styles..', nothing happens. I do have the default folder of plot styles at /Library/Application Support/Autodesk/roaming/AutoCAD LT 2013/R19.0/enu/Plot Styles, full of great .ctb's I have used before in other versions of AutoCAD.

 

I made a screenshot of the PAGESETUP command, when I try to select a ctb file. When I select 'new' in this screen, I can make a new CTB and save it, but I can't find it in Autocad anymore. When I select 'Reveal in Finder', nothing happens... 

 

How can I fix this?

Hi,
Something wrong with AutoCAD preferences.
Look in Application tab of AutoCAD preferences at Plot Styles search path, it should be exactly the same as you write in your post, if it is empty or has a different value, change it to default.
In a pinch you can reset application options on the same tab of preferences dialog.

Yes, it's working! The Plot Styles are working now, but still I can't export as PDF or 'Save as PDF' in the 'Plot' or 'Print' command. If I try 'Save as PDF' with other programs, it does work.. Only not with AutoCAD. Would that also be a preference I have to change?

If I try to make a PDF by exporting as PDF, I get an error: 'Continuous plot log could not be opened for write'..

Did you reset AutoCAD preferences? Or just you corrected path to plot styles?

If you did not reset - try this now.

If this will not help, maybe re-installation could help you.
