Moving a fixed component for a drawing

Moving a fixed component for a drawing

Moving a fixed component for a drawing

(OP)
I've got a large assembly with several sub assemblies and I want to generate some drawings with some components moved. I can create an exploded view for the linear moves but I want to rotate some elements (showing some doors opened). The doors are fulled mated but even if they were free they are in a sub assembly so I couldn't move them easily. Any ideas.? SW2009 SP5

Have you tried making the subs Flexible?  See the Help files.

If you need this only for drawings, also check the Help files for Alternate Position View.
