I wonder if it is possible to have a ctb file ... or perhaps two.
We are slowly migrating over to having all drawings printed in color...
Our local print shop from where we get our support for our KIP has said that there has been somewhat of a switch in the industry (mechanical piping and some sheetmetal HVAC) to more drawings printed in color.
The initial thoughts is to have one ctb that would print the drawing in color, and one to print the drawing in black and white.
Both ctb files should use the same lineweight settings... this way you can print the drawing in color or in black and white and the output would be just as easy to read either way.
owen66 has the approach I think is good... but I am not certain it fits with mine.

I think this was mentioned... but in case not....
Keep in mind that you can keep on using a B/W ctb file and if you need a few layers to show up in color, just change the layer color to a TrueColor, which are not affected by plot style tables and always plot WYSIWYG.
