640 | Chapter 22 Plot Drawings
If you delete the mapping table, the plot style table becomes an ordinary plot
style table and is no longer useful for applying plot styles to old drawings. It
continues to be useful for new drawings.
Warning! If you delete a color mapping table, AutoCAD cannot automatically
assign plot styles to objects when pre-AutoCAD 2000 drawings are opened for
the first time.
To delete a color mapping table
1 From the File menu, choose Plot Style Manager.
2 Double-click the plot style table that you want to modify.
3 In the Plot Style Table Editor, choose the General tab.
4 Choose Delete AutoCAD R14 Color Mapping Table.
5 Read the warning. Choose Yes to delete the color mapping table, or choose
No to keep it.
6 Choose Save & Close.

STYLESMANAGER
Change Plot Style Settings
You can modify plot styles using the Plot Style Table Editor. Changes you
make to a plot style affect the objects to which that plot style is assigned.
Overview of Plot Style Settings
You can open the Plot Style Table Editor by double-clicking a CTB or STB file
in the Plotter Manager. The Plot Style Table Editor displays the plot styles
contained in the specified plot style table.
The General tab lists general information about the table. The Table View and
Form View tabs provide two ways to modify plot style settings. In general, the
Table View tab is convenient if you have a small number of plot styles. If you
have a large number of plot styles, the Form View tab might be more
convenient.
In a named plot style table, the
NORMAL plot style represents an object’s
default properties (no plot style applied). You cannot modify or delete the
NORMAL style.
