AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Input On Layer Display When Plotting

I've been working in C3D for about 5 yrs now, and one thing that drives me absolutely nuts about it is how to get the correct layers to display when plotting different sheets out of the same drawing, regardless of the layer state of my model.  I worked in Terramodel for about 5 years prior to coming back to AutoCAD and became spoiled by the ease with which layers displayed on different sheets in the same drawing.  You assigned a layer state to the viewport and that viewport always plotted that way. 

It didn't matter what layers were on or off, frozen or thawed in the model view, once you jumped over to the sheet it always looked the same once you set it up.  In C3D I've tried viewport overrides, jumping into the viewport and setting the layers then saving the layer state...  All sorts of different approaches, but I've never found anything that really works.  My projects are typically small enough that I have all of my sheets in the same drawing but want different layer settings on different sheets.
