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 Plot Styles Manager. The Plot Style Table Editor displays the plot styles
contained in the specified plot style table.
The Plot Styles list provides access to all colors or named plot styles that are
saved in the plot style file. Select a color or named plot style to list and edit
its properties.
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.
Set Color, Screening, Grayscale, and Dither in Plot
Style Tables
You can use a plot style to assign color, screening, grayscale, and dither
properties.
Assign Plot Style Colors
The default setting for plot style color is Use Object Color. With this setting,
the object retains its layer or individually set color. If you assign a plot style
color, the color overrides the object's color at plot time. You can specify one
of 255 ACI colors, a true color, or a color book color. The plotter must be
configured for True Color if you want to plot True Color plot styles.
