CAD Discussion > Forum: AutoCAD > Under the bold word AutoCAD you'll see a button labelled "New Topic with a blue cross on it.  Click the button.  Where it says Subject type in a heading like "My New Topic".  Where it says Message type in your question, etc.  When done click on the button below the Message box that says "Post New Topic".  Done.

See the new thread I just created under the AutoCAD forum called "My New Topic" for an example.

When I have more questions, I will produce my own thread. My apologies to the person whose thread this is I really did not mean to high jack it. I cannot  find the new topic button.  


CTB - Color Dependent Plot Style

STB - Named Plot Style

If you are printing mainly in black and white then I suggest you use either a Monochrome CTB or a Monochrome STB so everything will plot in black no matter what color you assigned the layers back in your drawing.  This will work IF you use Index colors.  If you choose to use True Colors then those colors will override the plot style and they WILL plot in color.

For a discussion of CTB vs. STB read this CADD Manager article:
