Setting up drawing sheets with overlays

Hello,

 

So I am pretty new at autocad, as in I took one class 2 years ago and I would use the program for simple things, like a room and furniture.

It all came out ok then and now I am working as the autocad drafter for my new job. Since I only have the very basics down, I really need help figuring a few things out.

 

I have a drawings sent to me and I need to add a few things to them, for example a new deck and patio. I need to keep the existing drawings under the new drawing. I figure I just turn layers on and off if I need them, and make new layers to trace and add new things. Now I have to print the drawings. I want the original drawing in the background to be slightly lighter in lineweight than the new drawing on top. How can I get the top drawing to show black and white and some light grays instead of the whole drawing turning so dark? I have tried momochrome and greyscale. grayscale gives me the light lines but the dark lines aren't dark enough. monochrome gives me just dark lines.

 

I want my drawings to look professional with all the right linetypes but they always come out too light or too dark.

 

Please help me figure this out.
