Question
help...

my .ctb is not showing in the pull down menu under plot style table in the plot window and it's only allowing me to select the .stb plot styles... any idea why this is happening and how i can get it to show the .ctb?

it doesn't happen to all the drawings but just this particular drawing which was previously converted from SketchUp.


Answer
Hi, you must convert current drawing to a color-dependent plot style using:

convertpstyles

Just fyi, the style names associated to the objects will be lost after the conversion process. Additionally, the inverse of converting ctb to stb is the convertctb command. Hope this helps, let me know.
