By using overlay drawing view any one can document Positional Representations in Autodesk Inventor. Positional Representations are used to show an assembly in multiple positions by overriding assembly constrains.
First I took my previously created model Almirah (Mini Size) and created two positional representations named Open and Closed respectively.
Then I documented the same in a drawing file using overlay drawing view.
Following images shows the final result--
You can simulate mechanical motion by driving a constraint through a beginning position and an ending position according to the intent of design. Generally offset and angle constraints are selected to drive components within an assembly.
To begin, select a constrain in the browser, right-click the constraint, and then select Drive Constraint from the context menu. The Drive Constraint dialog box opens. In Start, enter the beginning value. In End, enter the ending value. Click more to set additional options.
The videos present in the following playlist shows the application of drive constraint.
