NOTE If you insert an xref into your current drawing, all defined plot style tables
are also inserted. You can modify the appearance of your objects by editing the
attached plot style tables with the Plot Style Table Editor.
Manage Plot Style Tables
You can use the Plot Style Manager and Plot Style Table Editor to 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 delete, rename, copy, and edit plot style
tables. The Plot Style Manager contains the available plot style table files and
the Plot Style Table Editor allows you to modify the properties of a plot style
table.
Use Color-Dependent Plot Style Tables
By using color-dependent plot styles to control how objects are plotted, you
ensure that all objects that share the same color are plotted the same way.
When a drawing uses color-dependent plot style tables, you cannot assign a
plot style to individual objects or layers. Instead, to assign plot style properties
to an object, you change the color of the object or layer.
You can assign color-dependent plot style tables to layouts. You can use several
predefined color-dependent plot style tables, edit existing plot style tables, or
create your own.
Color-dependent plot style tables are stored in the Plot Styles folder and have
a .ctb extension.
Use Predefined Color-Dependent Plot Style Tables
Several color-dependent plot style tables are installed in the Plot Styles folder,
also known as the Plot Style Manager.
