The Mad Cadder wrote this...

To convert a STB to a CTB:

1. Open the STB based drawing

2. On the command line type the variable: CONVERTPSTYLES

3. Follow the on-screen instructions.

Did you type CONVERTSTYLES or CONVERTPSTYLES?  There is a difference.

And why would you have to put anything in the plot style folder in the first place?  Makes no sense.
