Layers Turning Off When Saving Artboards

[davek28257496]

I am running into an unusual problem with my layers.

I work for a print production company. We have to make proofs with multiple artboards. To make our print production files, we save out each individual artboard as it's own file (This is a feature that can be checkmarked when you hit "save as"). So, basically I turn the visability off on all the layers with my proof template, and I keep the artwork layer visable. This normally works just fine. I get an indivual file from each artboard and everything looks good.

Today, I have been doing that, and noticed that my individual artboard files are changing. When I open one of the indiviual files that saved out from my artboards, my artwork layer's visability is turned off.  That is not how I saved the file. I re-checked this many times to see if I was accidentally turing the visability off on that artwork layer. It is definitely not me. I keep my art layer turn on, I save out the artboards individually, and then the art layer is turned off when I open one of those individual files.

Has anyone else run into this issue?

Ran into this issue today. Original AI has the layers I want visable, but individual files has that layered turned off. Same process worked as intended before. Did you ever get a fix on this?

Please share sample files with instruction how to trigger the behaviour.

saving to seperate AI using sample C1 with cut layer turned on. and results in sample CA_Artboard name file is having cut layer turned off. 

Current workaroud is turning all layers on and will result in all layers staying on.
