You can certainly do that. Filters will be your friend here. 

 

If you want to hide one dimension and show another you can do that with filters. 

 

You COULD just turn off all the rest of the VT settings and only update the filters. You  could also not have a template assigned to a view <None> and just apply a template make the PFD apply a new template repeat. 

 

Not trying to tell you how to do your process, but this workflow can be error prone. It reminds me of old CAD workflows with people turning layers on and off, only to forget and print the RCP without the ceiling layers on. 

 

Since you are making 10 sheets anyway seems like less work to have 10 views with the proper template assigned, and a master working view where you can see everything, then you don't have to remember to apply templates, just send the whole set to PDF and be done with it. 

 

You could even color code the working view so you can do a quick visual check to see if everything is the right "Type" before PDF. 

If you assign the template to the view you will not have to constantly hide or show elements.

 

We typically have the following floor plan types with associated templates 

 

Dimensions plan

Doors windows and openings

Finishes

Equipment 

FFE

Code or Egress

Area or Space Planning

 

All of these have templates assigned from our template and we tweak them project to project depending on what is needed. Some projects use all of those some only part. For instance if there are large open spaces with few dimensions we add the doors into that plan. Or maybe the FFE. Again just trying to keep the plans relevant and readable, while automating the management of what is visible, 

Plan types with templates already assigned and mostly figured out is key to this working. 

 

We do our sections, elevations and details the same way. Very few of our views do not have a preassigned template.
