Cannot edit STB plot style settings

Anonymous
Not applicable

I am trying to update an STB file so that the drawings print correctly, but I cannot get it to take my plot style...I think it has something to do with the color mapping but I cannot find any information on how to remove that for MAC, everything out there is about PC. 

 

Please help! I just need to be able to have the STB file recognize the second plot style listed in the attached list. 

 

Basically my idea was to just delete "Normal" so that it recognizes the version I created.

Hi @Anonymous,

 

This is a pain to deal with as the CONVERTPSSTYLES is not implemented in AutoCAD for Mac.

 

Have you tried creating a new drawling based on the one of the template files (named Plot Styles and then copy/pasting or inserting your existing file into it?

 

I believe that once you do this then you should be able to apply your named plot style.

Hi
Zach,

You cannot delete Plot Style (Normal in your case) until it is assigned to one of the drawing objects (layers).

Do you mean you cannot use "rose arch" plot style, created on PC, in AutoCAD for Mac? Please specify your AutoCAD for Mac version and describe steps you are taking when you want to use this style in your drawing.

Hi @Anonymous,

 

Is it possible to attach your drawing file and the plot style so I can try it on my side?
