Hi,
does anyone know why sometimes there is an option for creating an exploded view in a part and sometimes there is not? I don't understand where the inconsistencies come from but I find the option of making an exploded view in a part very helpful. Otherwise I have to move bodies. Thank you.
Hello,
The left image shows an existing exploded view.
The right image doesn't have one created yet.
Right-click on the config name and select new exploded view to create one.
Each config gets its own exploded view(s).
Cheers,
Kevin
I thought that you could ONLY create an exploded view in a part that had multiple Solid Bodies. Surface bodies don't count. (I think) If you only have 1 Solid Body, then the option for Exploded view shouldn't be there.

Good call on "part".
I defaulted right to assembly.

Yep,
I have a lot of solid bodies. Right clicking doesn't give me the option to create an exploded view in this particular part (only new configuration). Interesting???

Can you share the part so that we can diagnose?
Sorry, just saw your post. I am still confused on why this happened. I had a part with bunch of dumb bodies and I was adding new geometry to it. When I deleted some of the dumb bodies, I got the option of creating an exploded view. So, it looks like the culprit was one or some but not all of the dumb bodies. I made a quick experiment with saving a part with solid bodies into a part with dumb bodies and I was getting the option of creating an exploded view. Sorry I can't share the part - it is something we use in production.
Thanks for helping.
Mark your answer as correct, since you figured it out. (now for you to just figure out which body the issue is coming from).
You could delete bodies one by one until the option shows up. The last body deleted is the culprit.
