Parameters

ExplodeView

Name of the explode view to which to add this explode step

ExplDist

Distance in meters to move the selected bodies in this explode step

ExplDirIndex

Explode direction manipulator index as defined in swExplodeDirectionIndex_e (see Remarks)

ReverseDir

True to reverse the explode direction, false to not

AutoSpaceBodiesOnDrag

True to automatically space selected bodies on drag, false to not

Error

Error code as defined in swCreatePartExplodeStepError_e

Return Value

This method:

• Is valid only for an active, current explode view of a multibody part.
• Always clears the selection list.
• Does not work if the Explode PropertyManager is open.
• Does not work if any body is being edited in the context of the part.

Before calling this method, you must:

1. Create an explode view in the active, current configuration of the multibody part. To create an explode view, call IPartDoc::CreateExplodedView.
2. Populate ExplodeView with IConfiguration::GetCurrentPartExplodeViewName.
3. Call IPartDoc::ShowExploded to activate the explode view to which to add an explode step.
4. Call IModelDocExtension::SelectByID2 to select:

After calling this method, call IModelDoc2::EditRebuild3.

For C++, specify VARIANT_TRUE or VARIANT_FALSE for ReverseDir.

To edit an explode step, see the IPartExplodeStep remarks.

To create an explode step for the explode view of an assembly, see IConfiguration::AddExplodeStep2 and IConfiguration::AddRadialExplodeStep.
