Below are the manual methods to accomplish the same outside of ObjectARX programming environment:
- Autodesk has a utility program known as “Table Print utility”. You can use it to export and extract information from “Color dependent plot style tables (.CTB files)” or “Named plot style tables (.STB files)”in AutoCAD. But Autodesk has not made this utility program available for all versions of AutoCAD.
- Alternatively, there is another tool which will help you to view CTBs, print them and save as text file that you can open in Excel. Link below: http://www.noliturbare.com/plot-print/print-ctbs-and-more
Steps to use:
- Download the Plot Style Viewer.
- Open the .CTB file and save as .txt.
- To import into an Excel (2007) spreadsheet:
- From the Ribbon -> Data Tab -> Get External Data Panel -> Select From Text
- Navigate to the .txt and Import.
Hope it helps.
Thank You!
