AutoCad 009 Ctb won't plot from AutoCad 2006

So I am slowly but surely making myself used to the 2009 version which constantly gives me headaches. We use 2006 at the office which is the version that created the ctb file. I placed the ctb file in the folder where all the other plot styles are and when I go to plot I can see the ctb file in the 2006 plot screen but when I try to plot with the 2009 it says the ctb file is missing.

Help please?!?!?:wink:

When you are trying to plot in 2009 are your plot style file names ending in .STB or .CTB?

it is a .ctb file

Not sure you are understanding my response. Start to plot the drawing, in the plot dialog in the upper right where the Plot style table selection is located, pick that pull down to display the plot style files it is finding. Now are the files displayed ending in stb or ctb? I suspect you are in a drawing set up for stb and that is why the ctb is not found.

If this is the case and you must have the drawing as a ctb file then look in help for CONVERTCTB and CONVERTPSTYLES.

when you are plotting in 2009, is the relevant .ctb file in the correct folder for 2009 ?
