To create a plot style table

  1. Click Tools menu WizardsAdd Plot Style Table.
  2. Read the first page. Click Next.
  3. 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.
  4. On the Pick Plot Style Table page, select Color-Dependent Plot Style Table or Named Plot Style Table.
  5. 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.
  6. On the File Name page, enter a name for the new plot style table. Click Next.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
