Use Predefined Named Plot Style Tables
AutoCAD installs one additional named plot style table for you to use
beyond the default plot style table. All named plot style tables have an .stb
extension.
■ acad.stb: Default plot style table
■ Monochrome.stb: All colors plot as black
■ None: No plot style table applied
Note Named plot style tables are only available if the drawing has been set to
use named plot style tables.

Delete Color Mapping Tables
Named plot style tables that you create using CFG, PCP, or PC2 files have
color mapping tables that are created from your previous AutoCAD pen map-
pings. Color-dependent plot style tables also have color mapping tables.
AutoCAD uses color mapping tables to map plot styles to colors and thus to
objects of each color when opening pre-AutoCAD 2000 drawings. This
enables you to simulate the way drawings were plotted in previous versions.
While the color mapping table exists, you cannot add, delete, or rename plot
styles in that plot style table.
