MMT- Two Base Views of the same assembly with different Reference sets.

[MFDO]

In a MMT (Master Model technique) drawing, is it possible to have Two Base Views of the same assembly with different Reference sets? I’m trying to create Assembly Drawing of the open die. I have created two Reference sets “Top_Components” & “Bottom_Components”.

I would do it with Arrangements and then add an additional Base View selecting the Assembly a second time only using a different Arragenement. Besides, you should avoid creating Reference Sets INSIDE of an Assembly. You should be using Arrangements instead is you wish to have multiple configurations of the same Assembly, like I did below (I've also attached the image file) where I have the same Assembly but with three different style 'handwheels' and I've shown all of them on the same Drawing, the primary views shows the default configuration, while the two additional views shows the two Handwheel options. Please note that the Parts List will ONLY recognize the Assembly shown in the FIRST Base View that you add to the Drawing.
