When you explode multiple components in one step, you can space them
equally along an axis.
To auto-space components:
-
Select two or more components.
-
In the PropertyManager, under Options, select Auto-space
components on drag.
-
Drag a triad handle to explode the components.
The selected components move, maintaining an equal space
between them as you drag. Parallel components remain parallel.
- Optional:
Edit the explode step in the following ways:
- Use the drag handles
to move the components and change their
order in the chain.
- Drag a component to another mated component to maintain
the mate.
- Change the auto-space distance. In the PropertyManager,
under Options, move the
Spacing
slider.
- Drag the components past your initial mouse drag to
collapse and then explode the components in the other direction.
