How can I create an exploded view of an assembly in a drawing?

John Jagiella Jul 31, 2015 5:43 PM

Well my first problem is, I can't find an 'explode drawing' option or button anywhere. I've looked at the FAQ on the forums, and had SolidWorks help take me here (just a picture of solid works help on exploded views) http://puu.sh/jkALS/91fe4b4818.png

I'm trying to explode an assembly in a drawing so that it's easy to see what goes where - is it possible to create an exploded view in the drawing, or do I have to go to the assembly, make it there first, then select that view when making the drawing?

the exploded view does need to be created in the assembly mode. It will then be under the config you created it on that you can then show in the drawing.
