table can contain as many or as few plot styles as required. Named plot styles
can be assigned to objects or layers, just like any other property.
Assign Plot Style Tables to Layouts
By assigning different plot style tables to each layout in your drawing, you
can control how objects in the layout are plotted.
The plot style table affects both model space and paper space objects. To plot
the drawing without applying plot style properties, select None from the list
of plot style tables.
If you use named plot style tables, each object in the drawing either is assigned
a plot style directly or inherits a plot style from its layer.
NOTE If you insert an xref into your current drawing, all defined plot style tables
are also inserted.

Use Color-Dependent Plot Style Tables
By using color-dependent plot styles to control how objects are plotted, you
ensure that all objects that share the same color are plotted the same way.
NOTE On the Mac, you can plot drawings with plot styes already defined in them,
but you cannot modify the plot styles or create new ones.
When a drawing uses color-dependent plot style tables, you cannot assign a
plot style to individual objects or layers. Instead, to assign plot style properties
to an object, you change the color of the object or layer.
You can assign color-dependent plot style tables to layouts. You can use several
predefined color-dependent plot style tables, edit existing plot style tables, or
create your own.
