Just had a print-ready dwg get rejected because of named plot styles

Sent a set of drawings to the GC last Thursday for permit. Got an email Monday morning saying the file was broken. Turns out my CTB file got swapped with a friend's STB file when I reinstalled CAD last month. Every single layer plotted wrong. Had to redo the whole titleblock setup. Has anyone else had issues with plot style files getting corrupted on transfer?

Respectfully, redoing titleblocks is way more work than you're making it sound.

honestly though, is it really that big of a deal? i mean yeah it sucks but you caught it before it went to permit and you just had to redo some titleblock stuff. i've had contractors lose entire sets and just reprint them like nothing happened. sounds like the GC was just being picky about the file format. they could have just clicked plot and picked a ctb themselves if they really needed to.
