Diff Config. in Section from Parent View?
(OP)
Is it possible to show a different configuration, in a section view, from the view it was cut from?
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

RE: Diff Config. in Section from Parent View?
Sorry if I sound sarcastic but, that's saying ... here's a section view of the part below, only it's not really the part below, it's from a part that's not shown on the drawing!!!
You could certainly fudge it by having the "real" config sectioned outside of the drawing border, breaking the alignment & moving the view ... but why on earth would you want to?

You can work around this by inserting a view of the configuration you want in the section, taking the section view, then hide the original view. Then put a new view in with the other configuration. You can align them with the align tools.

It is bad practice and drafting standards as others have mentioned. When I started the job I am at now, the engineers had hundreds of faked drawings, dimensions and the like. It has cost the company allot of money in scrap parts and so on, plus the cost of recreating the drawings. Now when someone calls for a reference on the old team, you can imagine the type of reference they get. It is something to think about.
Fill what's empty. Empty what's full. And scratch where it itches.

Just to clarify...
The configuration I am talking about is an assembly configuration. I just wanted to show a pneumatic cylinder extended in one view and retracted in the section. I wouldn't show a different configuration of a part between mating views, I understand how confusing that could be.
Thanks again
