    Default problem with editing plot style

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    I'm trying to use a ctb file that was sent to me. It worked the first time I used it, but the second time I tried to use it the plot was in color and the line weights were wrong. I tried to edit the file in plot style table editor and it crashed AutoCAD. I had the file resent to me but it too does not work. Any ideas? (p.s. I'm using the Mac 2012 version right now)

    I'm not sure but would a plot style (CTB) file from a PC work on a Mac?

    Contact Autodesk, sounds like a bug. AFAIK AutoCAD for Mac 2012 is first with a plot style manager, most likely it is buggy.
