OK, here goes.
When an assembly is too large to fit on the page, LPub crops the image.
When one drags the assembly image to another position LPub does not redraw
the image.

Thanks, that’s exactly what I meant. I do instructions for multi thousand
part models, so it is quite common for the assembly not to fit on the page.
The workaround I have used so far is to make my own custom assembly images
from LView and them manually put them in the final PDF file. That’s what I
did here.

In the case of L3P and POV-Ray, there was the ability for look at coordinates so
that you could control what is the center of the viewed image.
If such a mechanism were to exist in LDView and LDGLite, LPub could support
that. This combined with the renderers cropping the image to a known size,
would meet your needs.
I certainly understand the need. Imagine trying to do building instructions for
25 foot buildings. Adam Tucker asked me about this issue years ago at the event
that became Brickworld.
