PCP, Revit and Autocad

I understand when Revit exports to DWG, it also exports a PCP file along. Within autoCAD I could convert this PCP file into a Plot style pen table. But when I print using this pen table, I DONT get my pen thickness, etc. similar to Revit. Is there any reason for this not to work.
These are the things I tried:
1. I had tweaked the import/export settings in Revit. So, I went ahead and imported the AIA std pen settings and tried creating a CTB file. Still does not work.
2. Within autocad I AM selecting the "Plot with plotstyle" option. Still the printed sheet from autocad is very different from Revit.
Any thoughts.
Thank you in advance.
John.

You might have better luck asking how to use the .pcp file over in the AutoCAD forum.

Did you convert PCP to CTB correctly?
