components on layers

I have been using solidworks for awhile but never had a need until now
to put components on layers in a drawing. My task is to create some
solidworks drawing templates with certain layers so that when that
drawing template is used to create a drawing for an assembly the
correct components will show up on the correct layers. I have been
using solidworks long enough to know that I am pretty sure that
solidworks out of the box does not do that. Can anyone confirm? Does
anyone have any recommendations on how this can be accomplished?

Thanks, Sam
