FYI, I'm only on WF3.

I can add a new view with the sim rep but can't seem to change the old
view. When I go to ViewStates, the simp rep is grayed out... In an
assembly, this is not the case.

I suggest the following:

DRAW_LAYER_OVERRIDES_MODEL YES
IGNORE_MODEL_LAYER_STATUS YES

The first isn't to be taken literally. The drawing layer does override the
model layer, but only in the context of the drawing. And then only if you
create layers in the drawing having the same names as the ones in the
model.

This is a good thing. By actually creating a layer in the drawing for every
layer in the models, the drawing has a place to permanently set the status
of layers independent of the models. If someone later deletes all the
layers in the models and recreates them, the drawing does not loose the
status' that had been set there.

The second option prevents changes to the status of model layers from
changing the drawing layer status settings.
