    I have configured autocad use dependent plot style as "Use color
    dependadnt pot style"I have changed that in the file monochrome .ctb all
    my colors are the same black with a thin line if I get an older drawing
    , when I plot in the dialog box it says in the plot style table (pen
    assignment ) ex: monochrome.stb but I can't pick monochrome .ctb why
    where do I have to change to reatd this??? if I start a new drawing with
    my protptype it is alwasy monochrome ctb but older drawings or with no
    template I get .stb and I can't change in here to read all my pens one
    color

    WOW it was so simple, after changing all the layers to plot style 1 crated
    monochrome no dittering etc. etc I made it work but this what I needed because
    going to that process everytime it will be painfull.
    I typed ant told me to conver everything in color etc etc. say yes and Voila
    !!
    i was able to choose the .ctb...

    thanks a lot Thomas

    Glad I could help...
    I went through the same frustrations when we first upgraded to Acad2K &
    customers sent us their drawings...

    Have a great day!
