Drawing an assembly in different states

Hello 

I work in the safes and I have to make plans of the safes with the door closed and with the door open to indicate the size.

I would like to know if it is possible in the same drawing to have a view of my assembly with the door closed and a view with the door open

thank you in advance ;-)

Hello

 

Yes, just create configurations (one open and one closed)

 

Then, when the configs are created, you have to configure a constraint so that it is activated only at a particular config.

 

Example: closed config  > the door is constrained in coincidence with the frame

config open > the door is constrained with an opening angle.

 

 

If it's in a simple part and not an assembly, you have to configure the "copy/move" function
