I'm really hoping there is a setting I'm not seeing here, but I want the default line colors for DRAWINGS ONLY to be black and not the typical blue/black for defined and undefined.

I know you can just set the line color on the line format toolbar, but this is eliminating the entire purpose of the "per standard" layer option in drawings.
If I keep my default layer as "per standard" and my line color as "default" then all entities come in as required. Dimensions get their layer color, revision clouds get their color, and so forth. But if I sketch, all my lines come in with the default sketching colors for solidworks modeling. Why isn't there a separate line color option just for drawings? If I just set my line color to black, then the "per standard" layer becomes completely useless. All items are placed black regardless of layer settings. Anyone have a workaround? I'm trying to eliminate the need for a sketching layer here so my guys never have to change the layer to get the correct colors, this leaves way too much for mistakes.
