An exploded view shows an assembly's components spread out, but
positioned to show how the components fit together when assembled.
You create exploded views by selecting and dragging parts in the graphics area
to create an explode step. In exploded views you can:
- Evenly space exploded stacks of components.
- Radially explode components about an axis.
- Drag and auto-space multiple components.
- Attach a new component to the existing explode steps of another
component. This is useful if you add a part to an assembly that has an exploded
view.
- Reuse an exploded view from a subassembly in a higher-level
assembly.
- Add explode lines to indicate component relationships.
While an assembly is exploded, you cannot add mates to the assembly.
