Inventor drawing layers

Hi

 

I am using an ilogic rule that converts the layer of lines in the drawing package to the material name allocated in the model. Because i have set up layers to correspond with the material allocation the layers can be exported to an autoCAD template without manually having to change layers etc.

 

This works well but if i am doing section views the layer assigned is changed. the software adds on "-View" to the layer which means a Steel part should convert to layer "Steel" but in a section the layer changes to "Steel-View".  Therefore the layer properties don’t update because the layer doesn’t exist in the drawing template. of course i could duplicate all my pre set layers in my template with "-View" on the end and that would work fine... but im trying to avoid bring in double the amount of layers needed when i export to autocad

 

Any ideas?
