When plotting drawing and using a STB with multiple styles defined, how do you specify which sub style to plot with? Attached image my clarify my question.
TIA,

You set the plot style at the layer or entity level, not the layout. If you want to switch how a style plots, create another stb with the same style names and alter the style properties. Then you can choose different stb's at plot time.

I think what you describe is the behavior I see. I've not used styles at the layer or entity level and have only controlled output by different stb files at plot time.
This way of assigning at the layer and entity level appears to have many benefits, fitting into our current workflow isn't one of them.
Thanks again

How are you setting your layers? They each have a Plot Style property. Are you leaving it set to the default of Normal?

Default.
Some in the group use Civil 3d others use Carlson Survey. Each group feels the other group are knuckle heads.

And yet somehow you are able to have a layer standard that utilizes named plot styles that requires you don't change it at the layer level? That means that you standardize on a single plot style, Normal.

Sure. Till this past week I had not seen a STB with many sub styles defined, or if I had never paid attention to them.
