To create a plot style
table
-
- Read the first page. Click Next.
- On the Begin page, you can choose to
use an configuration file (CFG) or plotter configuration file (PCP
or PC2) to import pen settings, base the new plot style table on
an existing plot style table, or start from scratch. If you use
an existing plot style table, the new plot style table uses the
same type of table as the original. Click Next.
- On the Pick Plot Style Table page, select
Color-Dependent Plot Style Table or Named Plot Style Table.
- If you are importing pen settings from
a PCP, PC2, or CFG file, or if you are basing the new plot style
table on an existing plot style table, specify the file on the Browse
File Name page. If you use a CFG file, you may need to select which
plotter's configuration to import. Click Next.
- On the File Name page, enter a name for
the new plot style table. Click Next.
- On the Finish page, you can edit the
new plot style table by choosing Plot Style Table Editor. You can
assign the new plot style table so that it can be used in all drawings.
- Click Finish.
The new plot style table is available in both
the Plot and the Page Setup dialog boxes for all drawings using
color-dependent plot style tables.
To rename a plot style
table
- Right-click the plot style whose name
you want to change. Click Rename.

the same file extension (.ctb or .stb). When
finished, press ENTER.
The renamed plot style table is available in
the Plot and Page Setup dialog boxes for all drawings using that
type of plot style table.
