SW Exploded View Misbehavior
SW Exploded View Misbehavior
(OP)
Hello World,
SW '05 (yeah '05)
Anyone ever had this problem?
Opened an existing exploded view Assembly which contains sub-assys. All is fine except for one sub-assy. This particular sub assy has about 6 explosion steps, but on the very first step to bring it out from the main assy as a sub-assy unit something wacky occurs. Two of the sub-assy components (identical parts, similar mates) drift farther and farther in the same direction of the drag but at what seems to be twice the rate. So at zero drag of sub-assy the components are connected to the sub-assy as they should be, and at about 15" of sub-assy drag the components have moved about 30".
I've exhausted the scanty help file and am still unsuccessful
Thanks for any advice

I wish I could remember the exact circumstance in which it happened, but my photographic memory is out of film.

RE: SW Exploded View Misbehavior
Ah Ha! In addition to listing the Sub-Assy, the components were listed as well in the same explosion step.
Thanks JMirisola.
