Named Plot Styles

[danmayer175]

I have been trying to set up a file using named plot styles.

So I have started a new file using the named plot style template that came with ACAD 2012 Mac.  Then I assign my stb file in the page setup dialog in modelspace, which also assigns it to all my layouts.  Now when I go to layer manager, I select a layer which is intended to plot at 50% gray.  I click on the plot style and, as expected, I see the list of plot styles that I created.  The problem comes when I select any of them, the layer just reverts right back to "normal".  So all of the layers are set to normal, and I can't change any of them.

I am having the same problem.  I'd appreciate help from anyone that knows a fix!

Same problem, I believe it's some kind of bug so please help if anyone has any information regarding this problem.

Hi guys,

This defect should be resolved in next Service Pack, but for now - here is a workaround:

After assigning Plot Style table to Model (and Layouts) go to "Current Properties" tab in Properties palette (ensure that nothing selected). Scroll to "Plot Style" property, open drop-down list with Styles and choose each of the Styles one by one by selecting them from drop-down.

After you select and "assign" all of the Styles - return back to "By Layer"

Now - go to Layers Palette (not Layer property tab of Properties palette) and open "Style" property list - it magically populated with all available styles and you can assign them to Layer(s):
