Hey. I've got the same problem but I've managed to deal with it in two ways (I'm using AutoCAD, but in ZWCad it should be the same):
1) I'm finishing my drawing & save. Then I'm changing layer colors - those which supposed to be for example red I'm leaving as red, rest I'm changing to black. Than I plot using "color" style of ploting. After that I'm closing drawing without saving.
Of course You can always revert changes by pressing CTRL+Z.
2) I'm creating new plot style in which I choose which colors should be black and which should be different.
Hope I've helped
Best regards
