Adding Explode Lines

To add explode lines to an exploded view, use an explode line sketch (a type of 3D sketch).

1. Click Explode Line Sketch (Assembly toolbar) or Insert > Explode Line Sketch .

   The Explode Sketch toolbar appears. Route Line is activated and the Route Line PropertyManager opens.

2. Add explode lines using:
   • Route Line (Explode Sketch toolbar)
   • Jog Line (Explode Sketch toolbar)
   • Other 3D sketch tools (Sketch toolbar)
   All lines in an explode line sketch appear in phantom font.

3. Close the sketch.

   The sketch 3DExplode appears in the ConfigurationManager under ExplView .

• Example - Adding a Route Line
  In this example, a route line is added between a pin and a hole in a shaft in an exploded view.
• Example - Adding a Jog Line
  In this example, a route line in an explode line sketch goes through a component, so a jog is added to go around that component.
