The .STB file extension is a Plot Style Table File used in AutoCAD, a product of Autodesk. An STB file is structured and contains various definitions and lines of instructions, or plot styles, used to control colours, line widths, and other settings when plotting drawings made with AutoCAD.
An STB file is recognised by the AutoCAD software, although other compatible drawing programs can also open this type of file.
STB Structure
Plot style tables (STB) are stored as ASCII text files and contain definitions for lines that specify the appearance or plotting configuration of thin lines, wide lines, dashed lines, hatched lines, and more when plotting with AutoCAD.
The STB file will typically begin with the statement FILE_DESCRIPTOR followed by values such as Format=1.0 or Format=1.40. Additional definitions in an STB file are indicated by commands such as BEGIN_STYLE, END_PLOTSTYLE, and COMP_CLASS.

Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .STB) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .STB extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .STB file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .STB extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .STB extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .STB file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .STB file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .STB file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .STB file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .STB file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
