Print Style Priority

To ensure that you have an opportunity to override any print style default properties, the product always processes print styles in the following order.

  • Print styles designated as a default print style are always applied first when files are added to Print Organizer or when the Print dialog is opened. If you have multiple default print styles, they are applied alphabetically. Mutually exclusive properties that appear in subsequent default print styles override the same properties that appear in previous default print styles. For example, if print style A specifies a scale factor of 2, and print style B specifies a scale factor of 3, print style B wins out and the plot will be scaled a factor of 3.
  • If both a default print style and a print style that is assigned to a printer driver configuration file exist, duplicate or mutually exclusive properties in the print style assigned to a printer driver configuration file override those in the default print style.
  • Any properties specified by manually applying a print style, always override any duplicate or mutually exclusive properties in a default print style or print style assigned to a printer driver configuration file.
  • Any properties manually specified in the Print dialog or in Print Organizer after a print style has been applied, always override any duplicate or mutually exclusive properties in the applied print style(s).
