Plot style not working after upgrading to 2019

Hi, I just upgraded recently from AutoCAD LT (Mac) 2016 to 2019. Now I can't seem to get files to print with the correct plot style - I'm using a ctb file. Everything is showing correctly in the layout (set to display plot style) and in the preview area of the plot dialog box. When I try to preview or plot the drawing, the lineweights are incorrect. I've been searching the forum and can't find a solution to this - I hope someone can help! 

 

Attached is the ctb file and here are two screen shots to show what I'm referring to. Thanks!

Having trouble attaching the ctb file - I'm getting an error message saying the extension is not valid.

Hi Liz,

Where you put plot style table file?
Is it on local drive on somewhere on network location?
If on network - try to put it to some folder on local drive and test printing.

In order to be able to attach CTB file here, you need to Compress it to ZIP archive. Please attach it, I'll look at it.

Can you also share your drawing or a part of it for testing?

While waiting for your DWG file, I want to ask also:
Why on screenshot you provided in the first post the name of the plot style table is CMG.ctb and you attached LRDesign.ctb?
Is the attached CTB correct?

Hi Maxim, sorry for the confusion. When I took the screenshot I was using a different ctb file to see if that would work but having the same issue with that one and LRDesign.ctb. Attached is the sheet file and one of the xref'd plans. Hope that works, thanks!

You need to uncheck "Scale lineweights":2019-05-23_21-51-59.png

See attached PDF - the result I got with your CTB

The plot dialog box is clearly not coded or working properly.  The 1" showing in copies is a clear indicator.  The previous plot box does not work and you cannot change line weights from mm to inches.
