baker Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I need to change many drawings from our old Plot Style to a new version. I was going to use a script to also purge and complete a few other house cleaning items... what is the best way to change the plot table from old.ctb to new.ctb (they are not named that BTW. haha!)

rkent Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 delete old.ctb, rename new.ctb to old.ctb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baker Posted July 24, 2012 Author Share Posted July 24, 2012 yeah that would work.. if i wanted to keep the old name... what was our CPIS-50%.ctb is now just CPIS.ctb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkent Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Do you use named page setups? If so, how many? Since the ctb is called in a pagesetup you would need to replace the old with the new pagesetup which would be calling the new.ctb. DWG trueview will let you push a new pagesetup into any drawing(s) being converted. You can set that up, pick a bunch of drawing and use the convert to do that. I think someone has posted a lisp or vba solution but I can't remember who. Maybe someone watching will remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
