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.
To display the effects of a plot style table in a layout, select Display Plot Styles
under Plot Style Table in the Page Setup dialog box.
NOTE If you insert an xref into your current drawing, all defined plot style tables
are also inserted. You can modify the appearance of your objects by editing the
attached plot style tables with the Plot Style Table Editor.
