3 To select a plot style from a different plot style table, under Active Plot
Style Table, select a plot style table.
The list of plot styles changes to those in the selected plot style table.
4 To edit the selected plot style table, choose Editor. Change settings as
necessary and choose Save & Close.
5 Choose OK.
The plot style that you made current is used for any new objects created
in the drawing.
You can change the current plot style only if the drawing uses named plot
style tables. If the drawing uses color-dependent plot style tables, change
the color to alter the plotted appearance of objects and layers.
Note The current plot style property can be set to BYLAYER to inherit the plot
style of the current layer.
Command line
PLOTSTYLE
Manage Named Plot Styles
You can add, delete, rename, and copy plot styles in a named plot style table
using the Plot Style Table Editor.
The Plot Style Table Editor is also used to change plot style settings for both
named and color-dependent plot style tables.
Note You cannot delete or edit the NORMAL plot style. Also, you cannot add,
delete, copy, or rename plot styles in a named plot style table if a color mapping
table has been attached to the plot style table. A color mapping table associates
every plot style with an AutoCAD color.
