A
The list of plot style tables is empty and when you try to add a new plot style (New...), AutoCAD displays the error message "The system cannot find the path specified".

This is caused by an improperly setup folder for plot styles. In the OPTIONS dialog on the Files tab, check the path setting of Printer Suppport File Paths > Plot Style Table File Path. The specified folder must exist and should contain the individual .CTB and .STB files.
