Printstyle Files and MicroSurvey CAD

Printstyles are .ctb or .stb files that control lineweights and Ink Assignments when you print drawings

 Visit this resource to learn more about configuring Printstyles

MicroSurvey CAD accesses Printstyles that are stored in:

C:\Users\"user"\Documents\MicroSurvey\Print Styles

or:

C:\Users\"user"\OneDrive\Documents\MicroSurvey\Print Styles

Printstyle locations do not change between releases of MicroSurveyCAD, so there are no steps to follow when migrating settings between MicroSurvey versions.

FYI, a selection of sample printstyle files that are non customizable are stored in:

C:\Program Files\MicroSurvey\MSCAD20XX\Print styles

The sample printstyles are installed with the program and copied to the Documents folder noted above when MicroSurvey is first launched

NOTE: When you first install MicroSurveyCAD search paths are set up to check for printstyles in the folder your operating system identifies as the default Documents location.  Depending on when (or if) One Drive was activated on your PC, your search paths may not be correctly configured to look for prinstyles in the location that was current the last time you installed an older version of MicroSurvey CAD.

If you find you cannot access your custom printstyles after updating MicroSurvey:

open MicroSurvey CAD

type "Options"

Select the Paths/Files tab

Open the Print paths item as shown and set the path to where your custom printstyle files are located:

Once complete restart and test a print.
