Another option is to only use the plot style for (print) colour/greyscale/force black and screening. Let line weight be controlled by the lineweight setting. If get a consultant file that I want all black or screened just attach and change the plot style to Force Black. No need to alter any settings in their file!
AutoCAD provides the ability to assign how things plot/print such as lineweight, color, dithering etc. using a feature named Plot Styles. You have the choice to use the default color-dependent or named plot styles, but your drawing can only be one or the other.

It can be debated as to which is better but I will leave that for you to decide which works best for you and the people you exchange DWG files with. About 95% use CTB most likely because that is not only the default but the way they have always done it. If you want to share your reasons for using one plot style method over the other please feel free to post a comment to this blog post.
The majority of AutoCAD users are using the default plot style of color based plot styles also known as color-dependent plot styles (CTB). CTB plot styles has been the default since the early days of AutoCAD supporting plotting/printing. It comes from the days when we had pen plotters and there was 255 numbered pens available which correlated to the physical pens. With a CTB plot style table you can specify the color, lineweight, linetype, screening, and so on that objects of a specific color will have when plotted.
With AutoCAD 2000 came the style based plot styles or named plot styles (STB) option was added allowing you to assign plot styles including color, lineweights, screening to an object regardless of colors or layer set to the object. Some users mention the benefits of STB are less pen styles to manage or they can have project phased styles.
Named plot style tables contain user-defined plot styles. When you use a named plot style table, objects that have the same color may be plotted differently, based on the plot style assigned to the object. A named plot style table can contain as many or as few plot styles as required. Named plot styles can be assigned to objects or layers, just like any other property.
A white screen displaying your drawing appears. This is the page we are going to plot. First step is to setup the weight of the lines being printed and their print color. This is done using plot styles.
Since AutoCAD 2000 there are two main types: the color dependent plot style and the named plot style. Named plot styles are relatively new, the color dependent plot styles have been used before AutoCAD 2000, so most existing drawings are color dependent. This page covers the color dependent color tables (ctb).
Before we can start plotting, we first need to load a color table. A color table tells AutoCAD which color relates to which line weight. You can find a basic example on the TOI website, which uses the same values as we've learned in Organizing your Autocad work.
When a drawinguses color-dependent plot style tables, you cannot assign a plotstyle to individual objects or layers. Instead, to assign plotstyle properties to an object, you change the color of the objector layer.
