Multiple Layers while Detailing Drawings

Hi everyone! I want to apologize to everyone if this
question is in the wrong section of the forum.

To begin, I am using Wildfire 3.0. I am new to this
forum but have been referencing it for multiple questions
I have had in the past and it has been of great help!


Now, on to my question...

I would like to be able to set different layer statuses
for different sheets on my drawings.

On one sheet I am trying to show a hydraulic layout and
another sheet I am trying to display a wiring layout.
The wires and hydraulic lines have been created using
sweep features and quilts in my assembly, so there are
purple lines everywhere (I'll get to that in a bit). It
would be helpful to have these two layouts on different
sheets to reduce clutter and allow me to be more specific
with each layout. I have tried to find this answer but
have not found much specific help.

Now about those purple lines...

It is possible to set a different color for each separate
quilt surface? It would be nice to have each wire a
different color without going to a shaded view to easily
specify which wire goes where. I know I can color each
individual datum curve but I need to keep the curves
hidden to satisfy another sheets requirements. I thought
about going to View...Display settings...System
Colors...Geometry, but that would end up changing every
surface to have a different color besides purple, still
not solving my problem.

I hope I was clear in my explanations.

Any advice is much appreciated!
