Layer translate by Plot Style

$

Is there a way to translate by layer Plot Styles instead of layer names? I would like to translate named plot styles from "Style_3" to a specific named plot style in another .stb pen set such as "9-FINE".

 

I'm trying to update a sheet set where I have many drawing that used color based pen sets. Our current standard is to use style based pen sets. When I convert the color based drawings to style based drawings, I have to use a converted .stb file crated from the .ctb the drawing was originally associated it.

 

Now, I can leave it like this and it prints fine, but I would like to translate those plot styles so that they will read correctly from the .stb file the rest of the sheet set is using. The reason being is that once all of the drawing use the current standard .stb file, I can use overrides from the Sheet Set Manager and have them all print out in black and white since the overrides themselves use the current .stb standard file.

 

If there is someway to translate one plot style into another plot style automatcially, disregarding the layer name they're assigned to, this would help out so much.
