Assigning plot style tables

In Bricscad you can assign plot style tables to model space and to each of the layouts in a drawing. By assigning different plot style tables to each layout in your drawing, you can control how entities in the layout are plotted. The plot style table affects both model space and paper space entities. To plot the drawing without applying plot style properties, choose 'None (use Default)' from the list of plot style tables.

In STB-type drawings, each entity in the drawing either is assigned a plot style explicitly or By Layer.

Missing plot style table

If a plot style table is not found, the text "(missing)" is added to the plot style table name. When you print the drawing, the settings of the default plot style file Default.ctb or Default.stb will be used instead.

To assign a plot style table

Choose Model or the layout to which you want to assign a plot style table.
Do one of the following:
Choose Page Setup... in the File menu.
Type pagesetup in the command bar, then press Enter.

Select a Plot style table from the list box in the Plot Style Table (pen assignments) section.
(option) When assigning a plot style table to a layout, check the Display plot styles option.

Click the OK button..

Toggling the plot style table on/off

When you turn off plot style tables, entities print according to their own properties. However, all of the plot style information is saved so you can easily turn on plot styles again. Actual plot style table files are not deleted, and for drawings that use named plot style tables, entities and layers retain their assigned plot styles.
