Visibility "Save Status" greyed out after hidding a part

I have an issue with Creo Parametric 11 - Once I hide a part, there is no way for me to save the visibility status. Take the following steps as an example:
- Open assembly with 2 parts
- Hide 1 part
- Attempt to save ("save part" works, but "save (visibility) status" is greyed out)
- Further info: Once I hide parts, I can see them under the "Hidden items" under the layer tree, yet I still cannot "save status".
- Close part (Including erase not displayed, close creo, etc.)
- Reopen part. (Once the part is reopened the hidden part is no longer hidden.)
I used to do this on Creo 7 constantly. Has this changed? Is there another way to do this now with the visibility/layer tree status? I do not want to use simplified reps, because I want to hide many parts quickly and then go back to my original view by using a "reset status" mapkey. Simplified reps take too much time (or too many clicks per part rather than hide), especially on large assemblies.
