AutoCAD 2014 Plot Style problem

[miha13]

I have a problem with plot style.

When i want to change plot style, it's not working. And when i want to make my own style, i get this window. Shouldn't there be colors where i have style 1? My friend is using the same Autocad 2014 for mac, and its working fine for him. I already uninstall the program, it's not working (student version)

Any ideas? 

Sorry if there is already topic about this.

Welcome to the Autodesk Forums!

Where do you want to change Plot Style? For Layer? For Object? For Layout?

Do you mean that you want to see this window:

You need to convert plot style in your drawing, but in AC for Mac there is no commands CONVERTPSTYLES and CONVERTCTB to convert named plot styles to color dependent plot styles (or vice versa) "on the fly", like in Windows version.
But there is workaround - if you want to convert STB-based DWG to CTB-based (as in your case):
1. Create new drawing using CTB-based template: when you create new drawing (File -> New) and want it to be CTB-based, you have to select as a template any of .DWT files, that doesn't contains words "Named Plot Styles" in it's name.
2. Copy all objects from your STB-based file (your current file) and paste it into this new file.
3. You may also need to adjust settings for DWGSCALE, LTSCALE and other drawing depended settings.

Problem solved. I changed template from acad-named plot style.dwt to acad.dwt as you said. But i still don't know what is the difference between templates?
