hi there
How is it possible to export pdf images of different position views in assemblies. The only pdf that ever exports is the master position view.
Thanks
Set your assembly to the view you want to 'print'.
Click 'Export' under the Inventor button in the Top Left corner of the program, followed by PDF.
This has always allowed me to create quick PDFs or images based on the view i set the assembly to. Unless i am missing what your problem is.
You can only save an assembly in the Master Position Rep.
Exporting a pdf is the same as a save, so IV changes the assembly back to the Master Position Rep. Not what you wanted.
Two solutions:
1. Adjust all the constraints in the Master Position Rep to move the components to the desired positions, make the pdf and change them back to the "normal" loactions.
2. Use the Snipping Tool, or other screenshot tool, to grab a png or jpeg of the assembly in the correct position rep and send that to your pdf printer.
You might make a entry on the Inventor Ideastation page if you think this functionality can be improved.

In my training I was told to stay away from level of detail because it was always a hassle so I never really learnt it. Is there a good video on how it all works?
And yes I was always changing the master view by supressing and unsuppressing constraints till i got the view I wanted
