Exploding and Collapsing an Exploded View

An exploded view is stored with the configuration in which it is created.

To explode and collapse an exploded view:

  1. On the ConfigurationManager tab TAB_FM_config.gif , expand the desired configuration.
  2. Do one of the following:
    • Double-click the ExplView feature.
    • Right-click the ExplView feature and select Explode (or Collapse).
    • (Assemblies only.) Right-click the ExplView feature and select Animate explode (or Animate collapse) to display the Animation Controller pop-up toolbar while the assembly explodes or collapses.
      You can reposition an item along its current axis without reopening the PropertyManager. In the ConfigurationManager, expand ExplView CfgMgr_ExplView.gif and select the step you want to change. Then drag the item by the handle Explode_drag_handle.gif.
