After I have the "routed" form of my hoses/cables, I always go into the assy and break the in-context relations. Then I take that hose/cable and create a new configuration with all the swept sections modeled straight. This is the configuration I use for 2d drawings. If things move in the assembly, it's easy enough to adjust the 3d sketches to correct the problem.
