This last task illustrates the use of the Explode
capability. Exploding the view of an assembly means separating the components of this
assembly to see their relationships.
1.
Make sure Product 1 is selected.
2.
Click the Explode icon
in the Move toolbar.
The Explode dialog box
is displayed.
Product 1 is the
assembly to be exploded. The Depth parameter lets you choose between a total (All
levels) or partial (First level) exploded view.
3.
Set All levels if not already set.
4.
Set 3D to define the explode type.
5.
Click Apply to perform the
operation.
The Scroll Explode field gradually displays the progress of the
operation. The application assigns directions and distance.
Once complete, the assembly looks like this:
The usefulness of this operation lies in the ability of
viewing all components separately.
Note that you can move products within the exploded view using the 3D
compass.
6.
Click OK to validate the operation and then
click Yes at the prompt or click Cancel to
restore the original view.
Well, you have done all the tasks of the Getting Started
section. Why not consult the rest of the documentation?
in the Move toolbar.
