AutoCAD 2013 :: CTB Plot File
May 17, 2013
Having an issue where the .ctb works in some paper space tabs and not in others. When we do the plot preview on one tab the line weight is correctly shown, and when we go to a different tab, the preview displays colors and no line weight. We tried this on two separate machines both running the same operating system, AutoCad 2013 and using the same .ctb.. We tried creating a new copy of the ctb. There must be a setting that is different in the viewports, but I can not figure out what it is.

I have just switched over to 2014 and i cannot for the life of me get my batch plot to plot PDF's to a single file! Instead, it's printing all 37 layouts separate. I tried switching between multi-file & single file in the publish options, but nothing!
i know that it took me a while to perfect my settings the last time i set up a new version, but i am struggling to work it out now.

I am trying to plot a drawing and am using a .ctb file that is not a color .ctb file. When I go to plot the plot wants to plot in color. Is there a setting in Options or somewhere that would be causing this?

exported all my user files and plot files and profile into new version of autocad 2013
now when i print a document instead of getting a monochrome plot setting it gives a greyscale affect even though using the monochrome plot file
obviously checked the plot file to see if its set correctley
this has occured on more computers around the office which is making me think it might not be the autocad

I've attempted to plot the contents of a ctb file using any one of the 'export to csv' routines floating around the web however what i'd like to include (an never seem to manage) is an actual display of the colour represented by the pen (you will of course realise i am referring to a ctb file rather than stb).

I received a drawing today that doesn't allow me to choose existing ".ctb" files. Opening the "Plot style table (pen assignments)" from the Page Setup dialogue box. I can choose "Start from scratch" , use a "CFG" file, or "Use a PCP or PC2" file". I do not have any CFG files. I usually use PCP in my "Plot" dialogue box for the plotter pull-down menu.
How to use my plot style "BRhalf.ctb" when plotting this drawing. Also, a "heads-up" on background information on this drawing's plot style options, vs. the plot style options on many other drawings I have plotted.

2004 and how to turn "plot to file" off? Any time they go to plot the plot to file is already set and grayed out. It has been way too long since 2004 and I don't know where to have them look although I assume it is in Options somewhere.

I am plotting a file that has a pdf referenced into it. The quality of the plot is degraded only at the inserted pdf. The rest of the AutoCAD file looks fine. The inserted pdf is a printed AutoCAD file which looks clear and even has embedded layers and linework I can snap to (which seems to indicate that there is vector information present when it is in Autocad.
I have attached an image with 4 zoomed-in screen shots to show what I'm describing.

how to find out using the .NET API if a plot device requires a file name when ploting?
E.g. choosing the plot to PDF device would require a file name.

How to turn plot and publish log file off? (see attached pic)
I found out how to turn the one off under plot stamp settings, but I would like this box to be unchecked also and I want to do it automatically for all my users.

Using someone elses template. When I plot to PDF the layout sheet name is not the PDF plot file name, it uses the drawing file name (and hence the same file name for all plots, not what I want). When I plot in paper space, my layout sheet name is the output file name, is there a way to change this?

I have one drawing per file at model tab. When I need to plot a multiple page file, I use:
Print > Batch Plot.
The problem is that I have to set plot configurations ( plot style table, plot area, paper size, etc) in each file before use Batch Plot.
Now I received 722 files with a wrong Plot Style Table. For this time I change the associated *.ctb file at Plot Style folder, but I will need to associate the right *.ctb to each drawing. It's also common to have to change other properties.

I want to be able to plot a drawing as a PDF (to send to customers, vendors, etc.) and not have the PDF able to be converted back to a DWG (as so many programs out there are able to do).

I only revised the text on my drawing and wanted to reprint my layout, but the 3D view disappears when I change the "view type" and will not plot. After hitting "regen" command several times, the 3D view types finally appear but are not even accurate - "Shades of Gray" is showing as "Sketchy", etc.

I just switched over to 2013. I am trying to make a 2d drawing from a 3d model. In past releases I always would plot to DXB and select hidden plot style. In this 2013 I select hidden but it does not hide anything. Is there a new way to acheive this in 2013.

Lets say that I want d drawing to be printed on scalw 1:50 why do I need to input at the plot properties 20mm to 1 unit in order to get it correct?
Also different question. If i want to print on paper roll and the one dimension of my drawing is 297 (A3) and the other dimension is undifined how can i set the paper size? Because under the drop down menu paper size the sizes are all fixed.

I have a drawing that refuses to plot the raster image when i plot to a PDF. It will plot the raster when I send it to the plotter. The raster is visible in the print preview. I've tried using the Adobe PDF driver and the DWG to PDF.pc3.
All I get is the line work.
Plot tranparency is off. Image is at Brightness 50, Contrast 50, Fade 0.

I have just started using 2013, and everything works just fine, with the exception of trying to plot. I am able to plot to PDF, but if I try to send a job to any of my network printers/plotters, AutoCAD crashes.

I use .STB Plot Style more often (as our Standard Format) which is easy to use for me, and once in a while use .CTB plot style. Since .CTB are more often use by others, and would like to develop a new standard layering format.advantages and disadvantages or differentiate of this two plot style in its actual application.

Not sure if I am supposed to specify the PDF printer in the Page Setup or the upper left of the batch plot dialog box.
Also, why is it that every time I open batch plot it loads all the current layout tabs in the drawing (which I dont care about). How do i open batch plot and specify my sheet list and not have to "replace all sheets"/

The first picture shows an old drawing using Autocad LT 2005 plotstyles named "cannon.ctb"*notice the weight of the dimension lines
The second picture is my new drawing using those same plot styles in our new Autocad LT 2013. Almost nothing is visible and it will not copy it is so light. The third picture is my new drawing and clicking on the box that says "Plot with Plot Styles" AND "Plot object lineweights". Note: I do not have my drawings set up with object lineweights.
I have tried completely redoing my plot styles, but that does not work. I am at a complete loss as to how to get my plot styles to register in this Autocad version 2013.
We have just upgraded our computers and now have windows 7, along with upgrading Autocad LT 2005 to Autocad LT 2013, and I have just installed a new Cannon plotter. However, I was having the same issue prior to the new plotter and I was hoping the plotter was the problem, which it seems to not be.

I've been using Autocad for over 20 years. Any office I've ever worked in never used custom plot styles.
Can custom plot styles control lineweights of objects at different scales? For example, I have a floor plan drawn for 1/4" plotting the lineweights look fine. Now I want to print that floor plan at 1/8" but many lines now look darker than before. Can I create a plotstyle for the 1/8" scale to control the lineweights?

I am new to 2013 and having issues when I print files that have pdf underlays that are set with a border of color 8 but still print dark on the sheet. I have the same issue with TIFF files that want to show the white background and everything dark. Is there an easy fix to plot it greyed out so you can see what you are proposing over what is existing?

I have a site drawing which has a decently high resolution satellite image underneath. When I try to plot to a pdf, the underlying satellite image doesn't show up. In the plot-preview mode it does show up, but not in the actual pdf created.

is it possible to have multiple plot style tables in one drawing ?
The purpose would be to plot xrefs with plot style table x while maintaining the company's plot style table for the drawing itself. The output would then be a plot in proper style for all parties involved.
This would save us the job of converting the layerstructure we get delivered by external parties to our own.

We upgraded to AutoCAD 2013 earlier this year (from 2002 - archaic!), and I've run into an odd glitch when using the batch plot utility. It seems to work fine when I'm only making one copy of a set of drawings. When I need to print more than one copy, Bathc plot does one of two things: it either plots a single complete set instead of the quantity I have entered, or it prints the correct quantity of all but the last sheet I've requested. It doesn't seem to matter how many sheets in the set, or how many copies, and I have yet to find a way to predict which outcome I'm going to get.
