Plot Style Column in Layers Dialog Box

MSchille-1994 — Thu, 06 Mar 2025 22:18:55 GMT

Anyone having issues with changing the Plot Style of a layer and when you do, the Viewport Plot Style remains as it was? I change the Plot Style of a layer for the entire drawing from Normal to Black, but the Viewport Plot Style stays set to Normal which makes it a Viewport Override.

This does not happen to any other layer changes such as color, linetype, transparency, etc...

Click on Model tab then click back to Layout and the Layer window for that column will update to match

hmmm........obviously this is a workaround. I wonder if Autodesk knows about this workflow flaw. Color, Linetype, and Transparency do not operate that way.

Nevertheless, thanks for the help.

Yes they do and that is still the recommended solution
