Quick Reference

■ Switch the Type of Plot Style Table
Converts the current drawing to either named or color-dependent plot styles.
Summary
A drawing can use either named or color-dependent plot styles, but not both.
CONVERTPSTYLES converts a currently open drawing from color-dependent
plot styles to named plot styles, or from named plot styles to color-dependent
plot styles, depending on which plot style method the drawing is currently
using.
■ Converting drawings from color-dependent plot styles to named plot styles
■ Converting drawings from named plot styles to color-dependent plot styles
When you convert a drawing, CONVERTPSTYLES sets the PSTYLEMODE
system variable to the appropriate setting (0 = named, 1= color-dependent).
For example, a drawing using color-dependent plot styles assigns plot properties
to objects and layers by color. In other words, all objects with the same color
have the same plot properties. CONVERTPSTYLES converts the drawing to
use named plot styles that can be applied to objects or layers independent of
color assignment. In other words, all objects with the same color can have
different plot properties.
