Function Description:
This command is used to convert the current drawing into named plot style or color dependent plot style.
The drawing can be printed in named plot style or color dependent plot style, rather than both at the same time.
The CONVERTPSTYLES can convert a current drawing from color dependent plot styles to named plot styles or from named plot styles to color dependent plot styles, it is determined by the current plot style.
When converting a drawing, the CONVERTPSTYLES will change the settings of PSTYLEMODE system variable (0: named 1: color dependent).
For example, the color dependent plot style is used to specify plot properties for objects and layers according to colors. In other words, objects with the same color have the same plot properties. The CONVERTPSTYLES converts
the drawing independently to color and apply available named
plot styles on objects or layers. In other words, objects with the same color
can have different plot properties.
