How do you show the DWG with the lineweights and colours the consultant intended?

The consultant drew with a plot-style file (CTB) of their own. When the file is linked into Revit, its lineweights and colours aren't kept, and the plan looks different from what they sent. Save the CTB file you got next to the DWG file: the link is shown with the consultant's original plot settings, and comparing sheets gets simpler.
