One of those tools that's been in the Inventor for many years that is often overlooked is the ability to show a drawing view in multiple states. Take this clamp for example, you may want create a drawing and show it in an open and closed states.
This assembly has a positional representation set up with the cylinder set up with two states, one in an open state and one in the closed state. From there you can create a drawing and place a view using one of the positional state.
Once you have the view you want, select the Overlay icon from the Place Views > Create ribbon. From there you can specify the overlay view such as the closed Positional Representation I created earlier.
Once you select OK, you will see your original view with the overlay view to show an open and closed state.
