Modeling Method

I am making operational drawings from model. Operational drawings represents the manufacturing steps carried out in sequence. Drawings has multiple sheets showings operations in sequence. Presently I am handling this with configuration techniqe. I build configuration for each operational step and while making drawing drawing I call that particualr configuration. (Example : for operation 20 drawing I will make drawing sheet views showing configuration 20). This approach works fine but I believe it takes lot of memory and increase file size.

I tried to use display states but I believe display states does not suppress/hide features.

Does anyone have any other ideas, how to handle this situation?

Thank you,
