Question
Hi,

I am enduring the headache of trying to reconfigure everything in my computer after a virus forced me to do a clean install of my operating system. So, among other things, I am trying to use my old plot styles, which I had backed up. But I can't seem to get it to show in the dropdown menu as an option. A bit of detective work revealed that ONLY .ctb plot styles are available, but I can't get any .stb plot styles to show. Any ideas? I have chosen it as the default plot style from the Tools> Options> Plot & Publish window. I have restarted my computer. I have crossed my fingers. Nothing. THANKS!!!

Answer
Have you placed your .stb plot styles in the same place as your .stb plot styles?? What version of Autocad are you using?

I'm not that great with .stb styles because, quite frankly, you're the first person I've talked to that's actually using them but, I'll help as much as I can.
