Is it possible to explode an assembly thru the drawing instead of the
(OP)
We use 2 seperate departments for Drafting/Detailing and Engineering. The drafting/detailing department does not have permissions to do anything more than view the models, but need to create exploded views of the assembly models to show assembly order because the engineering department has made an overall decision that it "isn't their job".
So here's what we are trying to figure out. Can the view be exploded thru the drawing.

Seems to me that engineering needs to create the exploded views because they've tied drafting's hands. I had the same problem years ago at a company I worked for. They, eventually, realized the error of their ways.

Also, what is the point of having D/D if they can't do anything with the models? Have engineers design the parts and your drafters make the dwgs.
