AutoCAD ignores ctb files

I have a machine here that just blatantly ignores the ctb file. I know that it is pathed correctly in my options, but it just prints the file all the one pen setting. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks

Just that machine or just that dwg?

You could try changing the path to another folder, hit apply, and change it back. The registry might be hanging up somewhere. Another stupid question, but your ctb files are in the correct folder?

Is that ctb a local copy or a network copy- ie is everyone using it or just that machine. Reason I ask, I had some local ctb files that I forgot to edit and set LWs to.

Is that machine looking for CTB's or STB's? If it's looking for STB's, you need to invoke the "CONVERTPSTYLES" command to switch between the two.

D2H - I thought of that as well, but thats dwg specific. If it was looking at STB files, he wouldn't be able to choose the CTB thats being ignored.

OK, here is a real stretch, Is the checkbox in plotting checked that says USE PLOT STYLES? Since that can be unchecked, it would ignore the ctb file

It seems to be just one drawing. It is not the machine because it doesnt print on anyone elses either.
It has nothing to do with stb files, because we dont use them.
Yes the ctb files are in the correct spot.
Use plot styles is checked.
Thanks for your replies.

Hi
Within that one drawing file what does system variable PStyleMode report?
If PStyleMode reports back as 0 (Zero) take a look at "Dommy2Hotty" above post for the answer
