Assembly Feature with Simplified Rep

I have an assembly feature that I would like to control
with simplified reps.
Its an assembly (sheetmetal part and vinyl label) that
has a knockout for field installed options. I created an
assembly cut thru these components hoping I could control
it with reps.
I need to show the assembly with the knockout and without
to create the appropriate views used in the installation
instructions.
Pro/E doesn't let you use features in assembly reps, and
I can't cutout the knockout at the part level since we do
not build it at the factory that way.

Any ideas? Reps, flexibility, snapshots... anything! Thanks guys.
 
I thought about that but it didn't seem like the
appropriate use for this. I try not to create extra
models/assemblies/instances for things we do not produce.
This is a field installed option only, so...

Why can't Pro/E just let use add features to a rep?! I even
tried it with rules.
 
I have never understood why people are hesitantto use family tables. I have always used them because they existed long before simplified reps. I have only recently started to use simplified reps. I really don't like them as the interface for them is much clunkier. It is hard to make wholesale changes to simplified reps, you have to change them one by one.
