 Topic: Monochrome.ctb & Plot Style Table?
Posted: 07.Apr.2011 at 19:36 |

Hi, I wonder if someone could help me out here. A friend of mine has given me a 'Monochrome.ctb' file. Does anyone know how I can get this working. Thanks.

Do you know what to do with it?

How much AutoCAD experience do you have?
I'm not sure why your friend had to give you a Monochrome.ctb plot style file when AutoCAD comes with one to begin with. Did your friend edit the file to suit his own needs and decide to share it with you?

Why did your friend give you the ctb file?

Sorry, I just saw your edit. The file has different lineweight for different colours. It would make my work so much easier to use it. He got it from an Architectural practise he used to work for.

I see. Well, AutoCAD already has a monochrome.ctb file. Do you want to overwrite it with the one you have from your friend? Or, do you want to rename your friend's ctb file to something different and keep AutoCAD's original monochrome.ctb file?
What operating system are you running? And is it 32-bit or 64-bit?
Is your version of AutoCAD 32-bit or 64-bit?

I'm running windows 7 (64bit), and AutoCAD 2011 (64bit). Perhaps it's best not to override the existing file. My friends file is called 'Monochrome2'.

Well at least your friend was smart enough to name his version slightly different. You need to place this file in the proper folder so AutoCAD can find it. I believe you will find that it goes here:
C:\Program Files\AutoCAD 2011\UserdataCache\Plotters\Plot Styles
You have plotted from AutoCAD haven't you?
