Architecture 2015 plot style by color

Being new to ACA 2015 IO am strugling with a plot problem. When I plot a sheet the plot is in black and white and the line weight of black lines is very thick, the coloured lines plot on black but witha thin line weight. I beleive the problem is that the line properties include a "plot stylke by color". This is greyed out and I cannot change it. (All the drawing elements are set to layer 0)

 

From what i understand the plot styles can be edited but I cannot find out how to access the plot styles?

 

Any help will be apreachiated.

DWG files are either set to use STB (by style) or CTB (by color) for plotting, never both. Whichever the file is set to the other type is greyed out.

CONVERTPSTYLES command will help flip a file between the two types. Usage explained in AutoCAD's HELP file.

And you can access the plot style tables to udit using STYLESMANAGER command.
