If your drawing uses named print style tables, you can specify a print style for each layer. Named print style tables contain print styles that you set up to control what entities look like when they print, without actually changing the entities in the drawing.
If your drawing uses color-dependent print style tables, you cannot specify a print style for a layer. These types of print style tables automatically determine printing requirements by the color assigned to a layer or an entity. For details about converting a drawing that uses color-dependent print style table to use named print style tables, See Changing a drawing's print style table type.
In drawings that use named print style tables, the default print style is Normal for all new layers. If desired, you can assign a print style using progeCAD Explorer. Changing the print style assigned to a layer changes the print style of all entities drawn on that layer with the BYLAYER print style.
When you create new entities, it's a good idea to assign the BYLAYER print style to any entities that you draw on that layer, unless you want to override the layer print style. progeCAD uses the BYLAYER print style as the default print style setting when you create entities (in the Drawing Settings dialog box).
You can also right-click the layer you want to change, and from the shortcut menu, select Properties and change the print style assigned to a layer.
