Alternate position view questions.

Alternate position view questions.

Alternate position view questions.

(OP)
I have another question on drawings.  I have a model with several configurations to show alternate position views within a drawing.  I can create a new drawing show the front view for example, and then create an alternate view and only part of the changes show up on the drawing.  When I view the models and change configs they show as they are expected to show.  What gives.

Thanks again in advance.

RE: Alternate position view questions.

(OP)
I have an assembly that has a carriage that moves left/right, a shot pin engages and locks this carriage in its positions.  If you look at the assembly configurations they are exactly what I want to see.  When I create the drawing view, and then add an alternate position view (in this case) only the shop pin moves to its alternate position, engaged vs disengaged.  But the entire carriage assmebly stayed put.  Not what the model config shows.

BTW thanks for your contributions, to this forum.

Thanks again
