I'm gonna throw in my input, although it's contrary to most of the thread:

I would consider it an easier task to get everyone on this forum to drive the exact same vehicle,  than it would be to get everyone on the same layers/colors/plot-styles.  
 
People have different needs, and will employ different techniques to meet those needs.  Some people can fully do their work with 10 layers, some can do it with 1 layer.  Personally, I'm around 50 or so because I like finite control.  Some people output to a black-and-white plotter, while others use color plotters.  Some people will put an entire building into a single working drawing, while others will divide a single floor into multiple working drawings.

even though i am in the shop and only deal with the cam end of thngs, this post makes the most sense to me. i think all have the right idea in mind, but i see a difficult time in our lifetimes (lol) to get beyond this. but i really think that this is a good place to start. it would be something though to see this at least get started. how's that commercial go? "think of the possibilites"

:)

I didn't mean to throw an anchor on a noble idea, ya'll.  

Here's my input: Backgrounds should be a shade of gray, and definitely not Magenta.

Dan:
a while back i took a class on autocads cad standards and they is a lot of stuff that may be useful. it takes time to set up but well worth the trouble, i use layer translator very often

jmorton:
Layer translator is useful indeed
