How to import plot styles

Hi

 

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.
