Problem

Can InterPlot read AutoCAD files to determine if a Plot Style (.CTB or .STB) is being used?

Solution

When plotting a DWG file with the Organizer, IPLOT determines if a plot style is associated with the current layout. If it is, it searches the MS_PENTABLE search path (by default, {workspace}\system\tables\pen folder) and then AutoCAD's Plot Styles folder. If it locates the plot style file, IPLOT uses it as the default MicroStation pen table. This behavior can be turned off by setting the configuration variable IPLOT_AUTO_PLOT_STYLE_TABLE to False in the IPLOT.CFG configuration file.
