Auto Explode?
Auto Explode?
(OP)
Not that I'm complaining (because it never worked the way I wanted it to), but didn't there used to be an auto-explode command in assemblies? I'm not seeing it anymore in 09.
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

RE: Auto Explode?
I would accept autoexplode in SolidWorks if and only if there was a built-in retaliation routing that delivered an electrical jolt to the designer every time they used the command, and every time somebody was unable to understand the expoded drawing.
I have seen so many exploded views that are practically useless for assembly. Lazy, uncaring drafters do enough damage with the manual explode. Drawings are a communications resource. Automatic explode is like blindfolding yourself and pounding randomly on the keyboard.
