Hi All, I hope you can help me with this problem.
How do you explode Sub Assemblies within an Assembly. Can't see a way of
doing this although I know it must be possible.
SW2006 SP5.1
Thanks in advance ... Roger

When you say Explode, do you maybe mean Dissolve? If so, RMB on the sub in
the tree and pick Dissolve Sub-assy there.

No I mean explode, pull the assembly apart to identify all the parts! in a
*.SLDDWR. I can explode the assembly OK but the sub assemblies it contains
stay together and I want to explode these as well within the main assembly.

Hope that is clearer :-) Roger

I don't use exploded assy's. but my guess would be that you need to create
an exploded config of the sub and then . Or, at the bottom of the PM I see
a box to check that says Select sub-assembly's parts. Just a guess, though.

It's the second guess. I use that option on a regular basis. Selecting the
components from the tree will also work.

In addition to that, I oftern create explodes in the subassembly, then use
the option "re-use subassembly's explode steps". Explodes in the top level
assembly can get very bogged down on larger assemblies, so it can save
time. Also, If I ever re-use the subassembly, I already have the explode
steps.
