Drawing representation - configuration

This is an assembly that has a pin type connection. I need to make a drawing that shows the hinge unfolded without affecting the models representation. I would normally do this with a family table but it's not playing nice with the mechanism. Is there a way to do this using simplified reps? In solidworks I would just make another configuration. It would be cool if I could just suppress the pin connection and add another instance and constraint for the flat state.<?:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:eek:ffice:eek:ffice" />
 
Put the hinge assembly in the unfolded position and create a snapshot view. Set the snapshot view so it can be used in a drawing. Create your drawing view and set it to show the snapshot view as an "exploded" state. Exact menu pics I cannot help you with as I do not have Pro/E at this time.
 
Worked great! Thanks for taking the time to make that file for me.Is there a way to show motion in a drawing using snapshots? In other words - you have a default drawing view. In that view could you enable a snapshot to show a phantom outline? This phantom outline would be in addition to the objects primary position.<?:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:eek:ffice:eek:ffice" />
