You could set up a Graphic Override to change the cover fills to empty or solid white.

The save 2 views, one using the GO and the other not.

I second Barry's response. You could duplicate your view of the presentation drawing and apply a different graphic override (GO) combination. That combination would have a rule that changes all cover fills to be either white or empty, giving the appearance of just a line drawing without the fill colors.

 

So you would end up with two views. The one you show in your image and a new one, each with its own GO combination.
