Improve the "Black and White" checkbox option in Sheet Layer Viewports

[Kevin McAllister]

The "Black and White" checkbox under the Advanced tab of a Sheet Layer Viewport should -

- should have an option to not affect the Viewports annotations. I often find myself turing the option on to neutralize an colourful file originating from Autocad, yet I would like to make my own annotation stand out in colour.

- should allow for "greyed" layers that are still grey. This option should be more like greyscale and less like Photoshop's Bitmap image type.

You can use a design layer viewport with the option and then you will have colored annotations in the sheet layer viewport.

I'd like this too.

Do I understand correctly? - design layer viewport - viewport on a design layer (DL)?

Is this really the right approach? - I created new empty DL and then viewport on it. Made it black and white. Then I created viewport on sheet layer using crop of that DL viewport. So then I can add annotation in color in sheet layer. 🤪
