Create Exploded View (3-D)

Views > Representation > Shaded > Exploded view

Exploded view (tab or docking window) > Activate exploded view

To create a view with an exploded layout for a drawing or an assembly of a drawing, proceed as follows:

1. Load the desired drawing.
2. Create a new view for the exploded layout, e.g. Exploded view_1.
3. Activate this view and call the Exploded view  function.

This activates the Exploded view mode, as can be seen by the green symbol at the top left corner of the drawing area:

The Exploded view docking window will be opened automatically. There you can create a new exploded view.

4. Now you can define the desired motion types. Possible are:

• Movements and
• Rotations.

Each applied transformation will be recorded in the Exploded view docking window, e.g.:

Via this "explosion log" you can also change transformations of the exploded view subsequently.

Please note:

• All functions for creating and editing exploded layouts can be found on the Exploded view Ribbon tab.
  
  
  

  
  

  
  
• Exploded views are indicated in the Views window of the ICN by the symbol.
• The transformations obtain consecutive numbers, e.g. Move_1, Move_2, Rotate_3, Move_4 etc.
• Multiple exploded views can be created for one model.

• Exploded views can also be copied - including all exploded view data, i.e. the movements and rotations.
• Changes to the model also affect already existing exploded views.
• To delete an exploded view, i.e. to change it back to a "normal" exploded view again, choose Views > Representation > Shaded > Delete exploded view .
