Command line: stylesmanager
Adds new plot style tables. 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, use settings from your AutoCAD Release 14 CFG file, or
use settings from a PCP or PC2 file.
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.
