Improve overlay view for superposition of parts

[gregory_nickol]

I want to do something that is technically more of a superposition/superimpose than an "overlay". I want to show a part in two positions, as if it was physically in both positions simultaneously (superpositioned). My example below shows:

• my two positions independently
• a standard overlay view using the same view rep as the base view
• a mockup of my ideal view
• an overlay view with only the moving components shown
• an overlay view where the parent view shows only the moving components

Example Overlay Views

Creating my ideal view currently involves:

• duplicating the components that need to be shown in two positions
• overriding my BOM quantity manually to avoid double ordering (note: BOM Structure is NOT changed to reference because that would result in an unshaded view of those pieces only that also has settings to be changed every time a view is placed)
• changing the line properties of the parts shown in the additional position to highlight it as different
