SSM & Layer Color

Whelp, I am looking at the features of 2005 before upgrading from 2004. The
main feature of benefit in 2005 appears to be the Sheet Set Manager. I just
got finished publishing a 96 sheet project with several subset publishes.
Ideal for SSM right?

Well I have one concern regarding the way we work and SSM. I have searched
the discussion groups and have not found a definative answer.

Issue:

When switching between layouts in a drawing in the sheet set for plotting,
we change the colors of layers. From what I have read, one can change layer
*visibility* by saving views and linking those views in SSM. Yet, the saved
views only control layer *visibility* not layer -color-. Is there a way to
manipulate the layer color between sheets(in same dwg) in SSM?

Thanks Dean,

Read that yesterday.

Right now I'm thinking of changing how we work just a bit. The layers who's
colors need to
change on different sheets will get new colors (ie instead of cyan...color
131).

Then I will create new plot styles.

In PlotstyleA: the layer will plot its normal color
In PlotsyleB: the layer will plot as an altered color
etc...
