    Before launching the plot command use

    CONVERTCTB

    You can't change from stb to ctb (or vice-versa) "on the fly". You need to
    do a conversion first. Check out the CONVERTPSTYLES and CONVERTCTB
    commands.

    The easiest way is to EDIT/COPY everything and then EDIT/PASTE into a
    new blank file derived from one of the templates that uses CTB files.

    Switching one file back and forth repeatedly from CTB to STB, using
    CONVERTPSTYLES and CONVERTCTB, is just asking for trouble.

    When plotting alien drawings for review, I have a SKINNYLINES.CTB file
    and a SKINNYLINES.STB file that plot everything with a thin solid line.
    It might not be exactly what the author intended, but I don't lose
    information.
