Explode Bodies

Explode Bodies

(OP)
In a part file, Can we explode bodies (For exploded view)?
For a reason, I don't want to keep this a part and not as an assembly.

RE: Explode Bodies

Not as easy as in an assembly, but:

You can move/rotate individual bodies in the part file. (As long as they are spearate bodies)

Insert->Feature->Move/Copy (Translate/Rotate)

The you can have one configuration with all of these features suppressed (regular model)
And another configuration with all of these features unsupressed (this is your 'exploded' configuration)

RE: Explode Bodies

I'll suggest the method stated above by MDGroup along with use of configurations.
