Plot styles not working with ACAD 2015 / Yosemite

[sarra.cenia]

Is anyone else having trouble with plot styles and ACAD 2015 / Yosemite? My one coworker and I both have this configuration, and neither of us can get plot styles to work. They look like they're set up ok in page setup, but the file doesn't display plot styles when this option is checked, and they just plot as displayed.

Hi,
Have you tried to use one of the standard plot styles with your drawings? For example - monochrome.
Do you see the same behavior as with your custom plot style table?
If it works OK - try to recreate plot style you want to use, maybe an old one is corrupted.

Hi,
Do you want to get help here, or just want to express your feelings?
If you want to get help, please describe your problem in more details : AC version, what kind of plot style table you are using: custom or default? If it is custom, than where it was created? Have you tried to recreate it? Etc.

Hi!, I often work in Autocad 2013 for mac. I updated my computer software to Yosemite and now when I want to ploT something from Acad I cannot see the option preview before I plot. How can I see that option again? Thanks for your help!

At first I have to mention that AC 2013 is not compatible with Yosemite.
In order to see preview before you plot in AC 2013 the only one option you have is to use PDF button, than select Open PDF in Preview:

Not sure that this work properly under Yosemite.

Were you able to solve this problem?  I have the same problem in AutoCad 2015 for Mac.  Plot styles do not get applied to the plot.  I tried my custom styles as well as the default styles.  The plot comes out looking exactly like the model space.

Thanks.

Hey, I figured this out after being frustrated for a while.  I was using the command Plotstyle for this, which does not actually select a plot style.  Instead, select the plot style in the properties inspector dialogue.  A little different from Windows version, where the plot style gets selected in the print dialogue.
