Read how to convert plot styles by Kate Morrical here. What if you already have drawings that use CTB? You can convert the plot styles. It should be obvious when you see the available templates. To create an AutoCAD file that use STB, you have to select proper template. So now we need to create a new AutoCAD drawing file using STB. However, you can convert from CTB to STB plot style or vice versa.You have to choose one of them, STB or CTB.Now that we have the STB, how do we use it? AutoCAD treat those two differently.
But if you use color-dependent, you have to define the properties for each color.
If you already familiar with plot style, you shouldn’t have a problem to set it.Ĭlick save & close after you finish defining your styles.Īs you can see, if we use 5 different lineweight, we only need to define 5 plot styles. The properties are exactly the same with color-dependent plot styles. You can give it a name we can recognize easily.įor each named plot style, you can set different properties. For example: I want to plot the object with thin line, I can give it name ‘thin – 0.10 mm’. We create a new style, give it a name to identify it, then define the plot properties. Create new stylesĬreating style is pretty straight forward. They are all set to ‘use object properties’. Use it if you want to use object properties for plotting. They are the same, just choose the one that comforts you. You can modify the table in table view or form view tab. Double click my standard.stb (or whatever your STB file name is). Now you should see the STB file in the folder. We can edit the plot style table now, but let’s just click finish. Give it a proper name like ‘my standard’ or ‘my company standard’.
