Hello;
I'm hoping some of you know of a solution to this.  I'm using Autocad R2007 to create drawings and my linetypes are all coming out the same.  I have a .ctb file with lineweight settings and that doesn't seem to help.  When I created a .stb file, the print dialogue box does not acknowledge the file.  Is .stb too new a format for R2007 to detect?
I'm using Bullzip pdf printer although I don't think that affects the pen settings.
thanks in advance

I've had this problem and I didn't find an other solution than open an prototype file ( kind of dwt file with our setings of lines dimension styles etc... ) insert the NOT OK file at 0,0,0 , copy/paste the paper space + activate all the ports and only then I could activate the .STB or .CTB.
ANY OTHER SOLUTION , I'M INTERESTED !!!!!!

Hie, I hope this is not coming too late. To convert .stb files to .ctb files you type command CONVERTPSTYLES, then it will prompt you, just say ok. Thats it you will be done. Bye
