Manage Plot Style Tables
Color-dependent (CTB) and named (STB) plot style tables are stored in the
Plot Styles folder by default. This folder is also known as the Plot Style
Manager.
You can use the Plot Style Manager to add, delete, rename, copy, and edit plot
style tables. The Plot Style Manager lists all of the plot style tables available
to AutoCAD.
To create a plot style table
1 From the Tools menu, choose Wizards. Then choose Add Plot Style Table.
2 Read the first page and choose Next.
3 On the Begin page, you can choose to use an AutoCAD configuration file
(CFG) or plotter configuration file (PCP or PC2) to import pen settings,
base the new plot style table on an existing plot style table, or start from
scratch. If you use an existing plot style table, the new plot style table uses
the same type of table as the original. Choose Next.
4 On the Pick Plot Style Table page, select Color-Dependent Plot Style Table
or Named Plot Style Table.
5 If you are importing pen settings from a PCP, PC2, or CFG file, or if you
are basing the new plot style table on an existing plot style table, specify
the file on the Browse File Name page. If you use a CFG file, you may need
to select which plotter’s configuration to import. Choose Next.
6 On the File Name page, enter a name for the new plot style table. Choose
Next.
7 On the Finish page, you can edit the new plot style table by choosing Plot
Style Table Editor. You can assign the new plot style table so that it can be
used in all drawings.
Note For pre-AutoCAD 2000 drawings, you can assign only color-depen-
dent plot style tables.
