Create drawing views using assembly positional representations

Positional representations capture a kinematic "snapshot" of an assembly to show components in various configurations. Multiple positional representations can be saved in an assembly. You can specify a positional representation by name when creating a base drawing view. The created view is associative to the positional representation, and updated to reflect representation changes.

  1. Create or open a drawing.
  2. On the ribbon, click Place Views tab Create panel Base .
  3. In the Drawing View dialog box, browse to the assembly file.
  4. On the Component tab, select a Positional Representation from the Position list.
  5. Set other options in the Drawing View dialog box and click OK.
  6. Click in the graphics window to position the view.
