Exploded Sketch Lines Hidden in Drawing
Exploded Sketch Lines Hidden in Drawing
(OP)
Hello All,
Hope subject describes problem. Looking for an option so that my exploded sketch lines are visible even when routed behind/between components in my drawing. The best I can do is to select the whole drawing view for Hidden Lines Visible. But I would prefer not to have every part's hidden lines showing to keep the drawing simple.
What do you think?

I could redefine the ExpldLineSktch in the model but that would prove time consuming.

Explode the assembly.
Edit the “3DExplode” sketch.
Hide all the components to display only the exploded sketch lines.
Drag the pointer from left to right to define a box selection or from right to left to define a cross selection (to select every exploded line).
Once every exploded line is selected, Click Copy (Standard toolbar) or Edit, Copy, or press Ctrl+C.
Exit the Edit Mode for “3DExplode” sketch.
Click any where on the Graphics Area.
Click Paste or Edit, Paste, or press Ctrl+V.
This will create a 3DSketch outside of the Exploded View.
Now you have full control of this 3DSketch to hide, show, convert entities, modified or change line format.
