Procedure

You can only create, delete, and apply plot styles in a named plot style table. You can define as many or as few plot styles as you need in a drawing.

Use Named Plot Styles
Named plot styles are assigned to objects and layers in the same way that linetype and color are assigned to objects.
Manage Named Plot Styles
You can add, delete, rename, and copy plot styles in a named plot style table using the Plot Style Table Editor.
Use Predefined Named Plot Style Tables
One additional named plot style table is installed for you to use beyond the default plot style table. All named plot style tables have an .stb extension.
Delete Color Mapping Tables
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.
