A plot style table in AutoCAD is a collection of plot styles assigned to a layout or to the Model tab. There are two types of AutoCAD plot style tables: color-dependent plot style tables and named plot style tables. Color-dependent AutoCAD Plot Style Tables (CTB) Color-dependent plot style tables use an object’s color to determine characteristics such as lineweight. Every red object in a drawing is plotted the same way.

Plot styles may be assigned to layers in the AutoCAD 2000 layer dialog box shown below. To change the plotted appearance of all objects on a layer, make the objects' plot styles 'By Layer', and click on the plot style of the layer you are working with.

There are 256 plot styles in a color-dependent plot style table, one for each color. Named AutoCAD Plot Style Tables (STB) Named plot style tables contain user-defined plot styles.

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. A named plot style table can contain as many or as few plot styles as required. Named plot styles can be assigned to objects or layers, just like any other property. The AutoCAD Plot Style Manager You can use the Plot Style Manager to add, delete, rename, copy, and edit plot style tables. Both color-dependent and named plot style tables are stored in the Plot Styles folder by default.

Horvath is an architect, interior designer and computer engineer. He has been working with AutoCAD and its architectural version since 1991. During this period he got an extensive experience in 3D processing, visualization, gathering volumes and clash detection, as well as the interior design field. These experiences allowed him to participate in design projects ranging from shopping centers, residential complexes, car showrooms, airports, resort hotels to planning tropicarium. He also followed with attention these projects, which gave useful additives for further works. Attila has been an Authorized AutoCAD Architecture instructor since 2008. He's been teaching AutoCAD Architecture software to future architects at Budapest University of Technology and Economics in Hungary, Department of Architectural Representation.

He also took part in creating various tutorial materials for architecture students. Currently he is working as a CAD Manager; presenting the actual use of CAD programs to the staff of various design offices. Attila is the author of numerous professional articles, and has been publishing on his own Hungarian blog for many years. He is member and vice president of the Association of Hungarian Architecture Desktop Users. He became an Autodesk Authorized Author in 2012.

This abundant professional experience of more than 20 years lead him to write the book 'My First Project', presenting the use of AutoCAD Architecture software and operating system via actual, real-life situations. He believes confident knowledge can be achieved by practicing as much as possible - thus his book aiming to be a very strong foundation for anyone who wants to acquire this practical knowledge with AutoCAD Architecture.

Hi, I'm having trouble printing to PDF from my autocad on OS X. I need to print to PDF to place into my indesign layouts etc. I have 2 options to get a PDF when I print 1 - Print via Adobe PDF 9 Printer which I believe uses distiller 2 - once the print dialogue is open, click the PDF button (bottom left) and save as PDF Both have problems. 1 - No file is created - it doesn't ask for a destination or file name but says complete 2 - The saved PDF is very poor quality I have tried the file on my friends mac and it still has the exact problems, but then on the CAD studio's PC's which as default have a plotter installed named DWG to PDF which works flawlessly.
