In case of plotting of AutoCAD drawing it is important setting that drawing will be plotted by COLOR settings (CTB – Color Table) or you can set different linetypes by NAMED PLOT STYLES.Ī drawing has already been defined during its creation – by selecting template drawing – if it uses CTB or STB plotting.

Both color-dependent and named plot style tables are stored in the Plot Styles folder by default. You can use the Plot Style Manager to add, delete, rename, copy, and edit plot style tables. Named plot styles can be assigned to objects or layers, just like any other property. A named plot style table can contain as many or as few plot styles as required. When you use a named plot style table, objects that have the same color may be plotted differently, based on the plot style assigned to the object. Named plot style tables contain user-defined plot styles. There are 256 plot styles in a color-dependent plot style table, one for each color.

While you can edit plot styles in a color-dependent plot style table, you cannot add or delete plot styles. Every red object in a drawing is plotted the same way. Color-dependent AutoCAD Plot Style Tables (CTB)Ĭolor-dependent plot style tables use an object’s color to determine characteristics such as lineweight. There are two types of AutoCAD plot style tables: color-dependent plot style tables and named plot style tables. A plot style table in AutoCAD is a collection of plot styles assigned to a layout or to the Model tab.
