Insert Assembly into Drawing
Insert→Drawing View→Alternate Position View
Select the desired View on the Drawing to contain the Alternate Position
Enter the Assembly environment and freely drag the components to achieve the desired position
Check-it-out and observe the dotted-line version of that view
NOTE: A new configuration has been generated within the Assembly. Mates can distort how this position may exist, so it's often more consistent to have two fully-defined configurations that the Alternate Position view utilizes (instead of creating a new config)
