I did a search of this and it just showed me iassembly results which is a little over my herad at this point. Most of my background is in PTC Creo and I just started learning inventor couple weeks ago. Keeping this as straight forward as I can I have a basic assembly and I make a subassembly flexible and can move it around as much as its constraints will allow.
The question: In creo after I got done moving stuff around, if I remember correctly, I could just click the regenerate button up in the ribbon and the components would snap back to their saved positions. Is this an option in inventor? Or is there a way to set their resting position/regen position?
Thanks in advance for any info.

Either
1. Create Postition and Design View Representations
and/or
2. You can set resting position in an Assembly Constraint (expand the dialog box).
It would probably be easiest to understand if you attached your actual assembly here and someone can demonstrate options using your assembly.
Some times it's easier to lock down your assembly with all the required constraints and then simple suppress one or more of the constraits to allow you to move/reposition the desired component.
Or as JD posted, create a new View Rep and position the component with the Contraint Override in the View Rep. This will allow for multi positions at the click of the desired view rep
