Delete R14 Color Mapping Table (not available in AutoCAD LT)

Deletes color mapping tables that are used when you open pre-AutoCAD 2000 drawings. While the color mapping table exists, you cannot add, delete, or rename plot styles in that plot style table.

Named plot style tables that you create using acadr14.cfg, PCP, or PC2 files contain plot styles that are created from your AutoCAD Release 14 pen mappings. Color-dependent plot style tables also have color mapping tables. Color mapping tables are used to map plot styles to colors and thus to objects of each color when opening pre-AutoCAD 2000 drawings.

If you delete a color mapping table, plot styles cannot be automatically assigned to objects when pre-AutoCAD 2000 drawings are opened for the first time.

If you delete the mapping table, the plot style table becomes an ordinary plot style table and is no longer useful for applying plot styles to old drawings. It continues to be useful for new drawings.
