AutoCAD LT for Mac, plot style lineweights

Hi.  I am just starting out with AutoCAD LT for Mac, moving over from the Windows platform.  I am trying to set up a plot style but notice that the lineweights options are given (.0000, .05, .09, 1.0, etc ).  I can't find a way to input a different lineweight other than the weights given.  Is there a way, or is this a limitation of AutoCAD LT for Mac 2012?

You can do this (edit standard lineweights) in Plot Style Table editor :


Lineweight

Displays a sample of the lineweight as well as its numeric value. You can specify the numeric value of each lineweight in millimeters.

If you assign a plot style lineweight, the lineweight overrides the object's lineweight when it is plotted.

 

Edit Lineweights

Modifies the widths values of existing lineweights.

Displays the Edit Lineweights dialog box.

There are 28 lineweights available to apply to plot styles in plot style tables. If the lineweight you need does not exist in the list of lineweights stored in the plot style table, you can edit an existing lineweight. You cannot add or delete lineweights from the list in the plot style table.

Any chance you can help with my situation in Autocad LT for MAC ?- my page setup does not give me any dropdown options for plot style tables and "reveal in finder' is not working. See attached screen shot.

best,

Hi,
Where did you put your custom plot style table?

well it used to just find it on the desk top or server... and now it will not reveal in finder to even search for it .
as such I would have to make a new one every time I wanted to plot with lineweights

If you make new plot style yourself, than you have to save it in order to be able to use it - even once. So where do you save your custom plot style table file?
In general it should be saved inside plot style table folder defined in Application tab of AutoCAD preferences dialog.
