How to set the CTB/STB path to the current directory?

You can set AutoCAD so that it searches for .CTB and .STB files not in a fixed folder (local or network) but in the current working folder.

In the Options > Files dialog, set the Plot style tables path to "." (dot) - meaning 'current directory'.
