10.15 THE NAMED PLOT STYLE TABLE
°
This is a new method introduced for the fi rst time in AutoCAD 2000; it is
not color-dependent.
You will create a
Plot Style
and give it a name. Each plot style will include
different tables within it, which you will link with layers later on.
You can have two layers with the same color, but they will be printed with
different colors, linetypes, and lineweights.
