CTB vs STB

A Question today from a customer:

Where do I switch from plotstyles
ending with *.stb to *.ctb?

Answer, from Greg here at Hydratec:

The normal HydraCAD
template is set to use “ctb” files. Load this template for
ctb

The “Hydracad_stb”
template is set to use “stb” files. Load this template for
stb

Next, there is a setting in
the AutoCAD OPTIONS – This is from AutoCAD 2007

Stb

Pick the Tools pulldown, then pick Options

Pick the Plot and Publish
tab

At the bottom right
pick Plot Style Table Setting

Note: with this setting
the Hydracad_stb template should load the stb files for you to
see.
