THANK YOU FOR READING.

I'M NOT NEW TO AUTOCAD BY ANY MEANS I STARTED OUT ON AUTOCAD 10 AND NOW I'M WORKING ON ARCHITECTURE 2008. BUT MY QUESTION IS I NEED HELP SETTING UP PLOT STYLE. I HAVE NEVER HAD TO DO IT BEFORE NOW. EVERY WHERE I HAVE WORK HAVE ALWAYS HAD THAT ALREADY SET UP.

I WORK FOR A SMALL ARCHITECTURE FIRM. I'M PRETTY MUCH THE ONLY ONE THAT DOES THE AUTOCAD WORK. WE HAVE A OCE 9400 PLOTTER. WHAT I'M TRYING TO DO IS SET UP A PLOT STYLE FOR MY MASTER SET THAT I START ALL MY DRAWINGS WITH. I'M HAVING TROUBLE TEACHING MYSELF HOW TO USE THAT. I'VE TAUGHT MYSELF PAPER SPACE MODEL SPACE AND XREF FOR THE MOST PART BUT I CAN'T SEEM TO FIGURE THIS OUT. IF ANYONE CAN GIVE ME SOME DIRECTION OR KNOW OF A PDF FILE I CAN DOWNLOAD THAT COULD WALK ME THRU THIS. PLEASE LET ME KNOW

 AND TO BE HONEST WITH YOU......IT JUST STARTED DOING IT ON THIS DRAWING I HAVE JUST STARTED 2 DAYS AGO. NORMALLY I USE THE "D.A.C.H. MONOCHROME SCALE 1-100" AND I HAVE MY LAYERS ALREADY MADE UP FOR THAT ONE ALONG WITH THE COLORS ON LAYERS I USE. AND I'M NOT SURE WHAT I DID.

I JUST WENT INTO ANOTHER DRAWING THAT EVERYTHING WAS WORKING RIGHT IN. I WENT TO MY BASE PLAN AND THE "D.A.C.H. MONOCHROME SCALE 1-100 " WASN'T THERE. WELL I WENT INTO MY A2.2 SHEET WITH THE TITLE BLOCK XREF INTO IT IN PAPER SPACE AND THE "D.A.C.H. MONOCHROME SCALE 1-100 " WAS THERE. WHERE SHOULD THAT PLOT STYLE BE LOCATED AT. SHOULD IT BE LOCATED IN THE TITLE BLOCK OR IN THE MODEL SPACE OF THE DRAWING.

I'M JUST CONFUSED.

Look into the help for keyword: print, plot styles.
 
I recommend set up plot styles by colors. It's simpliest way for print in big company.
