As @ac cobra says, make a config of the different positions
Here is my tutorial on the subject:

And to make a nice representation, put one of the positions in centerlines with View in another position.

To make configs, right click on the constraint(s) -> configure the function
This opens an array, if it's a dimensional constraint (distance or angle), click on the small arrow to the right of the constraint name to bring up the value.
In the 1st column on the left, type the number of the config to be created, in the following columns enter the desired values.

Hello
Like @ ac cobra 427 in addition you can bridge the 2 positions on the same view during a drawing.
may the force be with you.

Hello
as Ac.cobra says 2configurations, a two-position angle constraint open and closed.
