Change Plot Style Settings

You can modify plot style tables. Changes you make to a plot style affect the objects to which that plot style is assigned.

Set Color, Screening, Grayscale, and Dither in Plot Style Tables
You can use a plot style to assign color, screening, grayscale, and dither properties.
Assign Pen Numbers and Virtual Pens in Plot Style Tables
The pen assignments used by the plotter differ depending on whether you use a pen plotter or another kind of printer, such as a laser printer.
Control Plotted Lineweights and Linetypes
Both lineweight and linetype can be set as an object property or controlled when plotted by using a plot style. Lineweight or linetype settings in the plot style override the object's lineweight or linetype at plot time.
Assign Plotted Line End and Join Styles
You can set the line end and join styles for objects that have lineweight assigned, either as an object property or as a plot style override.
Assign Plotted Fill Styles
You can assign a variety of fill style options when plotting wide polylines, donuts, objects hatched with a solid fill, and solids.
