Can individual wires of a wiring harness be hidden for unique drawing views?

I have three different types of wires in my wiring harness. Coax, power, and ethernet. Basically depicted by different diameters and colors.  Is it possible to switch off the visibility of any selected two and save that into a "view" such as "coax only" and then bring that specific view into a drawing for labeling? The associative off switch seems to ignore what I'm trying to accomplish. Any change in the wiring harnesses visibility setting effects all views.

Are you trying to use View Representations or Model States?  I don't think C&H will work with Model States, but you should be able to use View Reps.

When I bring in the base image to my drawing sheet, I use one of the
representation views which I've saved in the assembly. However, whatever
wires are either currently visible or hidden from the harness, that seems
to override each and every saved and locked representation view.

Any additional thoughts? I still can't selectively get my unique drawing views to display the wires I want.

Is is possible for you to upload your assembly, or make a simple replica of it, and upload that.
It is often easier to help, if having an example there have the issue there needs solving.
