Why dont I see my Plot style tables (pen assignments) in some drawings I receive from outside sources?

There are two modes AutoCAD uses to store pen setting information. They are named plot style tables(*.stb) and color-dependent plot style tables(*.ctb). Color-dependent plot style tables are the way AutoCAD has done it for years and we, at Lanc & Tully, use this mode for our drawings. Named plot style tables are new with release 2000. When a drawing is created, it inherits the mode set in your AutoCAD preferences. Use Convertpstyles at the command line to change between modes after a drawing is created. It this command is not available on your machine, the migration assistant must be installed.
