Updated version of an old idea:
https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-ideas/creation-of-overlay-views-on-cropped-views/idi-p/43743...
Inventor 2019 finally allows the use of view reps on overlay views - this is very useful for large equipment skids and models involving a lot of piping (you can isolate the line you are working on with clear context shown). However... you can't crop a view that has an overlay. This seems to have been a problem for a long time looking at the thread above!
This really needs fixing to take advantage of this update!
