Change material definitions to CTB format?

Is there a way to change the material definitions to CTB format in the plot style under the material style?  See attached image.

 

I have a client that wants everything in CTB format and in AutoCAD Architecture.  I can get the drawings into CTB but the materials plot way too heavy and when I go in the styles they show Full Saturation or Wide, Thin from the STB plot styles.

 

The Drawing is in CTB and I am pulling my hair out trying to get the couple materials used set to Color based plotting.

 

Thanks for the help in advance and it is much appreciated.

Notice that the Plot Style column in the material definition in your image is grayed out. In a file that uses color-dependent plot styles (CTB), the plot style is assigned by the object color. You will either need to change the color of items that are not plotting as desired to a color that has the desired plot characteristics, or create/edit a CTB plot style file that assigns the desired plot characteristics to the color used in the material definition. Or, you may be able to find an out-of-the-box CTB file that works with your Material Definitions.
