Interesting. You aren't using marginsplot, but I guess you have the whole arsenal of graphics commands at your disposal.
With a little tweaking, this also works with Stata 11.2. You just substitute agegrp for _m1.
version 11.2 clear* webuse nhanes2 regress bpsystol agegrp##sex if region ==4 margins agegrp, saving(mymargins,replace) clear* use mymargins l line _mar agegrp, lc(black) /// || rcap _ci_u _ci_l agegrp, lc(black) /// ||, legend(off) xlabel(, valuelabel) ytitle(Linear Prediction)Run that same code under Stata 12, though, and you get an error, i.e. it doesn't seem to respect the version control. So, this may be a use at your own risk, i.e. the code isn't guaranteed to work the same way in the future.
