Your problem is more complex than your initial post, but solvable.
1. Inventor treats Ipart factories (your base part) differently than ipart members (your "other" configuration. You will not be able to place the ipart factory file in an assembly. Make two ipart members, one with the same values as your base part, the other as your 2nd part. When you need to place one in the assembly, pick the ipart factory file, and IV will ask you to select a member file.
2. For your print: make a dummy iam file that has both ipart member files. You do not need to create a view of this iam file in your drawing. When you place your Parts List on your idw, use the file navigation to select your dummy iam file. You should be able to get the mass properties of the individual ipart member files.
