How do you create an exploded view and use it in a drawing?

Creating an exploded view involves using the Design Review application to manipulate components and save their positions as a “slide.” This slide can then be used to generate an exploded view in a drawing. Follow these steps:

1. Prepare the assembly:
   • Open the assembly you want to explode.
   • Right-click on the root product and insert a markup. Name it appropriately (e.g., “exploded view markup”).
2. Switch to design review:
   • Go to the design review application from the app switcher.
3. Create a slide:
   • Use the slide tool (camera icon) to create a new slide. This captures the current state of your assembly, including part positions and visibility.
4. Manipulate parts:
   • Use tools like the robot manipulator or compass to manually move parts into their exploded positions.
   • Update the slide by right-clicking on it and selecting Update Slide.
5. Save and exit markup:
   • Once satisfied with the exploded arrangement, save your slide.
   • Right-click on the markup and select unset current to exit design review mode.
6. Insert exploded view into drawing:
   • Open or create a drawing for your assembly.
   • Insert an isometric or other desired view.
   • Select the slide (exploded view) from the specification tree before placing the view in the drawing.
7. Enhance drawing quality:
   • In the drawing’s properties, enable raster mode with high quality and select shading with edges for better visualization.
