Ghost stories

In PlotMaker a particular layout has one drawing (floor plan) and I want to add an other plan as a ghost story like i do in ArchiCAD. Can this be (conveniently) done in PlotMaker or do i need to be clever about it. Add another drawing, tweak settings, etc...

Is there a way to make the view set in ArchiCAD keep the same ghost story every time it is displayed, even after I have changed the ghost story for another view set? I want to have different ghost stories used with different view sets so I don't have to keep changing them.

Neither the Ghost Story data nor its status is saved with views. That means it doesn't show in PM.

The only way to over/underlay another plan is to import another drawing and apply different pen settings to it, which means giving up "All pens and colors", which usually means applying pen settings to every drawing. Not ideal, IMO.
