    Smile Microstation plot tables to AutoCAD plot tables

    Does anyone know if there is a way to convert a Microstation plot table(*.tbl) to an AutoCAD plot style table (*.ctb)?

    I'm running AutoCAD 2006.

    Thanks!

    Hi

    Just checking here...

    You are aware a Microstation Plot Table file ( .TBL ) does not actually contain the Plotted Lineweight information used by Microstation.

    Yes it contains Active Lineweight information ( 0 through 31 ), but that does not tell you the actual Lineweight used by Microstation at Plot stage; for that information you require the relevant Microstation Plot Device or Partial Plot Device driver ( .PLT ).

    Above information comes courtesy of our in-house Microstation guru.

    Apologies if the above is teaching you to suck-eggs.

    Have a good one, Mike
