Summary

Displays the Select File dialog box (a standard file selection dialog box), where

you can select the color-dependent plot style table file you want to convert.

The Save As dialog box is then displayed. If necessary, specify a new location

or name for the converted plot style table file.

CONVERTCTB saves a copy of a color-dependent plot style table as a named

plot style table, which you can then attach to drawings that use named plot

styles. The original color-dependent plot style table is not affected by

CONVERTCTB. The default location for the new named plot style table file is

in the Plot Styles folder. The default name for the new named plot style table

file is the same as the color-dependent plot style table name.

CONVERTCTB creates one named plot style for each color that has unique

plot properties, one named plot style for each group of colors that are assigned

the same plot properties, and a default named plot style called NORMAL.

For example, if all the colors in a color-dependent plot style table have the

same plot properties, CONVERTCTB creates only two named plot styles in the

named plot style table: NORMAL, the default plot style, and STYLE 1, which

assumes the plot properties that were assigned to all the colors in the

color-dependent plot style table. However, suppose that all the colors in a

color-dependent plot style table have the same plot properties except for two

colors, BLUE and GREEN. If these colors each have unique plot properties,

CONVERTCTB creates four named plot styles in the named plot style table:

NORMAL, the default plot style; STYLE 1, which assumes the plot properties

of GREEN; STYLE 2, which assumes the plot properties of BLUE; and STYLE

3, which assumes the plot properties that were assigned to all the other colors.

CONVERTCTB gives the plot styles in the new named plot style table generic

names such as STYLE 1, STYLE 2. You can modify these generic plot style

names in the Plot Style Table Editor. Click the Edit button on the Plot Device

tab in the

Page Setup dialog box. If you want to rename the plot styles, you

must do so before applying them to drawing layouts.
