Getting AutoCAD to realize I changed a path

Anonymous

I use the preferences object to change the path to the plot style tables
(ctb) during a session. Unless I manually go to options and pick on the
plot style table search path (which by the way displays the correct path I
just changed via vba) click on the path itself so that it is able to be
modified, and then pick the "apply" button, AutoCAD won't recognize the new
path. I've tested this with two Identically named ctb's one that is
modified for 50% shading. I can change the path all day long and pick
regenall and still the display doesn't update to show the shading. But if i
manually select that alternate path and then do a regenall, viola it works.

How can I get AutoCAD to utilize the new path?

Thanks,

Richard Binning

I've had the same problem, and no solutions. I've had some comment on this site that what we've encountered has exposed a bug with Acad (surprise, surprise). I hope that 2002 fixes this.
