Plot Styles missing

[todd.80290]

C3D 2010. I have a drawing that came from another company. When I go into page setup manager and try and set the plot style my company styles are not there. If I go to the plot style manager all the styles are there. I am really confused! Any ideas would be great.
Thanks.

I'm going to take a stab in the dark and say that the file you've received is using style based pen table (.stb) instead of your companies color dependent (.ctb) file or vice versa.
You'll need to convert the drawing to to match, or request the plot style table file from the other company.

I think that's it. We use .ctb and the styles that show up are all .stb. How do I convert the drawing?

[david_peterson]

I believe that direction is "convertctb". The instruction that you can find in the help menu are actually pretty good compared to most.
The other option I believe is "convert'styles". Which one goes with which, I can never remember.

Thank you Dave. You definitely got me on the right path. The command that I ended up using was convertpstyles. It allows you to change the drawing from stb to ctb plot styles.

Thanks again.
