plot styles are not supported in pdf export (dwf, svg also). but it is possibly to add this feature to 1.15. could you tell some words about your plotstyles/export related task? why do you need plotstyles support?
hi alexander,
till now some users used a pdf virtual printer - which was very nice to use. we could fully control it with all our printer settings like scale factors, print extents/view/sheet size/limits, etc, including plotstyles. the pdf generated document contained the same snapshot as it would appear on the sheet of paper on some other printer. the users liked it but the virtual pdf printers sometimes can be expensive to distribute when attached to systems with many users. so we decided to migrate to your pdf export which proved to work very nice.
also i think that when you print to dwf printer in autocad, the plotstyles would be supported too (but not 100% sure). also not sure for svg, if it is easy to be implemented, may be nice to have as an option.
thanks for your attention.
best regards
