Summary
Plot style tables contain and define plot styles, which can be assigned to
objects. When complete, the wizard produces an STB or CTB file depending
on the type of table you are creating. You can edit these files in the
Plot Style
Table Editor
. To use your new plot style table, the selected options on the Plot
and Publish tab of the
Options dialog box must be appropriate for the type
of plot style table (named or color-dependent) you created.
You can create a plot style table from scratch, use an existing plot style table
as a starting point, or use settings from a PCP, PC2, or CFG file.
You can create either a named plot style table or a color-dependent plot style
table. With a named plot style table, you can add and define plot styles as you
like; the file name has the extension .stb. A color-dependent plot style table
creates 255 plot styles based on color; the file name has the extension .ctb.
You can specify whether you want to use a plot style table for new drawings
or for pre-AutoCAD 2000 drawings when they are saved in a later format.
