I don't know the specific answer to your plotting problem but AcadE does
support an option to execute a user-defined command or AutoLisp expression
whenever a drawing is opened using the AcadE project dialog drawing pick
list or the "next/previous" arrow toolbar buttons:
1. Exit AcadE
2. Using any ASCII text editor open up file "c:\documents and
settings\....\support\aedata\wd.env"
3. Find this line:
*WD_OPEN_DWG,(command "_.ZOOM" "_E"),AutoLISP prog or expression to
autoexecute when dwg opened from PROJ dlg
4. Change it to read something like this (make sure you remove the leading
"*" comment character)
WD_OPEN_DWG,(command "_.CONVERTPSTYLES" "somefilename")
5. Save the file, restart AcadE.
Now, every time you pop open a drawing using the AcadE project dialog pick
list or arrow keys, this AutoLisp expression (ie. AutoCAD command) will
execute as soon as the drawing comes up on screen.
