Plotting an element twice?

When we plot yellow elements, we need to print it in black first and then yellow so that there's a yellow highlight, but it's still legible. We do this with shapes and text.

To do this today, we add a reference of our dgn and the plotting rules will only look at yellow elements to give us our two different rules for one shape.

Is there a better way to do this? If we didn't have to add the reference we could plot in 1/3 the time, which is significant when we have hundreds of drawings that need to be plotted.

I'm open to any ideas!
