Control How Objects Are Plotted | 631
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
on the Plot Device tab of 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.

plot style table.

4 Under Plot Style Tables, select a plot style table from the list.
5 In the Question dialog box, choose Yes or No to indicate whether the
selection should be applied to the current tab only or to all layouts.
