to creat a new CTB file you have to follow a number of simple procedure.start from PLOT command line then from plot style table select NEW as attaached image.

PLOT >> plot style table >> NEW >> start from scratch >> file name >> plot style editor.

in the last procedure go to lineweight to change you pen width as your need after selecting your color...

Good Luck.

Neither of those commands are the answer.  CONVERTPSTYLES converts a .dwg file from using one plot style to another.  CONVERTCTB converts a .CTB to .STB.

Maybe this video is more revealing.

But I do recommend learn about STB as well. STB is newer, more powerful and probably easier to handle - especially with more complicated and more colorful drawing.

Also use STYLESMANAGER command from command line or from the 'Big A', print, Manage Plot Styles.
