Explode Referenced components
Explode Referenced components
(OP)
I am using NX5 6.3. I have a large assembly where we have changed the properties of all the components to reference only so that they will not show up in the EBOM. I need to create several exploded views with this assembly. Currently I add several base views and use the View Dependent Edit - erase objects (bodies). This is very time consuming and I am wondering if there is an easier way?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Assemblies -> Exploded Views -> New Explosion...

I will try out your suggestion of a top down assembly, but will that add components to the EBOM? That is something that I need to avoid. I am new still, so I may not know of the best way to do these assemblies. The copy bodies onto a layer seems to be working out well. I am labeling everything so it is easy to see what parts are in the list.
Thanks for the tip.. I will give that a go in the morning.
RE: Explode Referenced components
As long as your EBOM is generated using the part list as it appears on the drawing you should be okay. This is why I mentioned that certain times there are annoying rules involving compromise between how designs are engineered and how purchasing departments order things. Not being familiar with the term EBOM I'm hesitant to guess the implications, so you probably need to ask around in your office.

Thanks for the tip about 'PLIST_IGNORE_SUBASSEMBLY'... we've known about and regularly use 'PLIST_IGNORE_MEMBER' but not the equivalent for subassemblies...
RE: Explode Referenced components
That is else something to try. Maybe this will help with importing large assemblies that will be bought as a single unit.
