When an assembly contains mechanisms like linkages and actuators that change position during the physical operation of the assembly, these may be defined as alternate position members in an alternate position assembly model. When you use the View Wizard to create a drawing view of the assembly, you can choose the different positions you want to show in the drawing view.

1. In the Draft document, choose the Home tab→Drawing Views group→View Wizard command .

   Tip:

   To create an alternate position assembly drawing view from an assembly document, select the New→Create Drawing command from the Application menu. In the Create Drawing dialog box, ensure that the Run Drawing View Creation Wizard check box is selected.

2. In the Select Model dialog box, select an assembly that has alternate positions defined in it.

3. In the Drawing View Creation Wizard (Alternate Position Assembly), select one Primary position check box, and then select one or more Alternate position check boxes.

   You can click the names in the Member Name column to see a preview of the assembly in each position.

   Click Next to continue.

4. A preview of the alternate position assembly drawing view is shown on the sheet. Do one of the following:

   • Position the drawing view where you want it and then click to place it.

   • Click the View Orientation button on the command bar to preview and select a different view orientation, and then click to place the view.

5. To place another view of the assembly, move the cursor to a new position on the sheet, select a view direction using the View Orientation button, and then click to place the view.
