Are you color blind?

AutoCAD has two basic types of printing styles. Color dependent and style dependent. If you are on the original Color based printing and want to convert your current drawing to this style. Try this little ditty.


Public Function ConvertToCtb()
Const sRet As String = """"
Dim sCmd As String
Dim sPstyle As String
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
sPstyle = ThisDrawing.GetVariable("PSTYLEMODE")

If sPstyle = "0" Then
sCmd = "(command " & sRet & "convertpstyles" & sRet & " " & ")" & vbCr
ThisDrawing.SendCommand sCmd
End If
End Function
