importing pcp settings and pen numbers

How do I import *.pcp settings?The "print" dialog box has an "Open" button for"PCP Legacy File" and I can choose a *.pcp file,but with no effect. The "Add CBT" or "Add Plot Style Table" - "Use a PCP file"dialog boxes also skip choosing a pcp file.There is no documentation on using the plotting system in Bricscad V8 Help. I'm having to use trial and error to manually setpen settings in the "Plot Style Table Editor":What are "Color", "Pen #" and 'Virtual pen #"?What is the difference?

  • Mine has no effect importing a pcp either. Trying that would crash one of the previous V8 versions."Color" in the plotstyles column refers to the colour of entities in the drawing."Color" in the properties column is the printed colour - I highlight all in the first column then check the Color box to make them all print black (which is what I almost always want).Then I individually change Lineweight for each (property) colour and don't use any of the other options....if that helps.
