thank you for the full explanation.

I already have a ".stb" file.

and its only and only a ".stb" file. I dont have any ".ctb" file.

now, I have a dwg file which I have to use that ".stb" file to print it.

"CONVERTPSTYLE" opens a window which only shows the available ".stb" files. 

I dont want to convert anything to anything else. I only need to use that ".stb" file. thats all. how?

 

step by step process im taking:

1. plot

there is not ".stb" file

so now I type "CONVERTPSTYLES"
I get this message:

this command converts a Color Dependent plot style drawing to use named plot syles.

brilliant. this is exactly what I want.

but then the next line says:

you should convert your color dependent plot style tables (.CTB files) to Named plot style tables (.STB files) with CONVERTYCTB before you convert your drawing.

No! I don't want to convert my color dependent plot style tables. I dont want to convert anything to anything else. in fact I don't have any color dependent plot style tables to convert it. the only thing I have is a dwg file to work on, and a ".stb" file to print the files after Im done working on that dwg file.

how can I tell AutoCAD to set my current dwg file to seek ".stb" files and let me pick the right ".stb" file instead of asking me to convert a ".ctb" file to ".stb" file and then use that ".stb" file?
