Plot Styles Plotting

Hello is there a way to plot my plot style pen settings in paper for each
color?.... in that way... I can know how they look my lineweights on paper.

Thanks in advance
I will appreciate your help

Start a new drawing.
Draw a line with each color you need. Label each line so that you know what
color it is.
PLOT the sheet, once for every plot style table you have or use, and once on
every print/plot device you have.
Now you have a sample of every pen from every printer/plotter and plot style
table you have.
Remember to save this file, so you can use it later if anything changes.

Just as a point of information.

The reason that Dean is suggesting that you print
it out for each plotter and each pc3 file is
because plotters do not all plot the same end
result. Even the same plotter using two different
drivers can plot lines that look different.

You can ask "How can that be when I specify the
line width", but I don't think you will get a good
answer. That is just how the state of the art is
today.

At least, that is my very frustrating experience.
Maybe it is just the way I type on my keyboard.
