Illustrator: Rulers ONLY on art boards

How can I use rulers only on artboards and not show them on entire canvas? This is a problem when working with differently-sized layouts on the same canvas as each ruler runs through adjacent and differently sized layouts. For example, I have an 8.5x11", 11x17" and 22x28" design all on the same artboard. I need rulers on each both horizontal and vertical, but they are all different for each layout. It would be great if they only showed on the individual layouts and not across to adjacent designs. Any help would be great! An example is attached showing the problem.

    Nope.. doesn't work on the newest version. Rules still reach across to adjacent canvas, atleast on my screen.
