How to plot with specific plotstyle

[Anonymous]

Hi,
Kean Walmsley gives a very detailed example in his feed about how to plot a window from AutoCAD (http://through-the-interface.typepad.com/through_the_interface/plotting/index.html).
But, he does not use any plotstyle. Can anyone please tell me how to print with a specific plotstyle?

Is no one out there with any idea regarding the plostyle issue? Maybe there is also a completely different way to plot than the one Kean described. Please tell me.

PlotSettings is the object. In VBA it is called PlotConfiguration. Either way, it is the Plot Style you are looking for. Create on, change its settings and copy it to a layout's plotsettings. That is how it basically functions.

OK, thanks for the advice, but I can not find the corresponding object in VB. Any other idea?

Here is what i found on short notice...

Public Sub PlotStyleInfo()
Dim obj As Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices.PlotSettings 'equivalent to plot style/config/page setup
Dim obj2 As Autodesk.AutoCAD.PlottingServices.PlotConfig 'equivalent to pc3 files
Dim obj3 As Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices.Layout 'equivalent to a layout with built in plot style
End Sub

Thank again, but I found the solution. It was a little bit easier than expected. It is the 'stylesheet' property of the Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices.Database
