Quick Reference

To change a layer's plot style

1. Click Home tab Layers panel Layer Properties Manager.
2. In the Layer Properties Manager, select the layer whose plot style you want to change.
3. Click the current plot style in the Plot Style column. Select the plot style you want to use.
4. To select a plot style from a different plot style table, select an active plot style table from the Active Plot Style Tables list.

   The list of plot styles changes to those in the selected plot style table.

5. To edit the selected plot style table, click Editor. Change settings as necessary and click Save & Close.
6. Click OK.

   You can change a layer's plot style only if the drawing uses named plot style tables. If the drawing uses color-dependent plot style tables, change the layer's color to alter the plotted appearance of objects on the layer.

   NoteAn object's plot style property can be set to BYLAYER to inherit the plot style of its layer.
