Missing .CTB file

[chick.biker]

I've recently created a new drawing and when I create my page setup my ctb file is not available.  I am not sure where those search paths are set up!  It's in the right place on my computer.  I'm guessing I accidentally used a different standard file when I started.  Can you advise how to point this drawing to the right search path?  Thanks.

Hi,

You can set up the plot style search path from "OPTIONS". 

Type in the command "OPTIONS" go to "FILES" tab and then expand the "printer support file path' and then select "Plot style table search path". Now click on "add" and then browse the folder which has the "plot style"

What does "not available" mean to us who cannot see your screen and what you are clicking on?
Is your drawing set to look for STB files by chance?

I think it is, but have no idea how it happened, and can find nothing in Help about switching it back.  I have verified the search path, so that is not the issue.

A DWG file is preset to use STB or CTB, never both: you started your file with the wrong template file most likely.
Look up CONVERTPSTYLES command in HELP about changing a DWG file, or open your CTB based template file and INSERT this problem one into it, EXPLODE, then SAVEAS.
