Multiple part configuration in a drawing
Multiple part configuration in a drawing
(OP)
We have an assembly of a box with a hinged cover. We want to show with the door open in one view and the door closed in another view. How do I show this?

NX has arrangements and SW has configurations, which can show different views with parts in diferent orientations. I thought Pro/E had something similar, but cannot find it. I may be wrong.
We tried making the mating od the lid a flexible component, which works in the asembly file, but we have no way of showing the multiple states in the drawing.
I am trying something with a mechanism joint, pivot, but again have the issue of showing different positions in the drawing.

RE: Multiple part configuration in a drawing
A snapshot is essentially an exploded view that holds the desired orientation/position of parts. You add the view to the drawing and set the explode to the desired snapshot through view properties/view states.
This is a broad overview of how to do it, you can use the help fuctions (look at "Snapshot") or ask for more particulars.
Hope that helps!
