Specifies the default plot style for new objects in a drawing when opening a drawing that was created in a release prior to AutoCAD 2000, or when creating a new drawing from scratch without using a drawing template.
| Type: | String |
| Saved in: | Registry |
| Initial value: | ByLayer |
When the drawing is opened and PSTYLEPOLICY is set to 1 (color-dependent plot style mode), DEFPLSTYLE is read-only and has a value of "BYCOLOR." If PSTYLEPOLICY is set to 0 (named plot style mode), DEFPLSTYLE is writable and has a default value of "BYLAYER."
To convert the current drawing to use named or color-dependent plot styles, use CONVERTPSTYLES.
