Adding Explode Lines

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

To insert an explode line sketch:

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

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

  2. Add explode lines using:
    • Route Line Tool_Route_Line_Explode_Sketch.gif (Explode Sketch toolbar)
    • Jog Line Tool_Jog_Line_Explode_Sketch.gif (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 CfgMgr_Explode_Sketch.gif appears in the ConfigurationManager under ExplView CfgMgr_ExplView.gif.
