NX3 Exploded View
NX3 Exploded View
(OP)
I am able to create and save exploded views in modeling, but when I try to insert them into a drawing, they are unexploded. What step am I missing? TIA!

"Fixed in the next release" should replace "Product First" as the PTC slogan.

RE: NX3 Exploded View
Thanks for the suggestion. I may be able to find a work around for now. The problem I have run into is my trying to follow the documentation, which states:
"Create an exploded view of your assembly (For details on how to do this see the Assemblies Online Documentation).
After you create the exploded view, perform a Fit on the view and save the view.
Go to the drawing and use Insert->View -> Base View to import the view of the exploded view you created in the above steps"

The top view was my work view, I oriented the view to trimetric and did a save as... (name: my_exp), then did the explosion and finally added the my_exp view on the drawing. It worked, doing it the other way around ended up with my top view being exploded and the my_exp view wasn't.

Thanks for the tip! Didn't work for me, though. I'll try asking on the BBS next, and then a call to GTAC. It gets frustrating trying to figure out how to do simple operations using the documentation provided.

The explosion toolbar is grayed out when I am in drafting. How do you make it active?

I meant when you are in the modeling side the explosion should be active.

I am in NX2. I see no difference between importing a view and inserting a view. Am I missing something?
Thank you

I am starting the drawing over (using the same drawing seed file) and have had no problems yet.
