Exploded Views (Tracelines - AutoExplode)
Exploded Views (Tracelines - AutoExplode)
(OP)
Hello,
I am working with exploded views and I was wondering if there's a way to make the traceline for more than one part at once. For example if I have a big assembly that has more than 50 bolts and I wish to have explode them to the same position in the same direction. Is there any way to make the 50 tracelines with just one oreder? Because I don't know any way other than making each traceline in individual step.
Another question related to Exploded Views.
When I Auto Explode the assembly it doesn't explode the arrayed parts. And when I try to explode an arrayed part it says "None of the selected components can be auto-exploded". So, is there any way to get this done?

RE: Exploded Views (Tracelines - AutoExplode)
I guess automatic generation of tracelines seems to be difficult as the origin and termination of tracelines has to be manual always (irrespective of any CAD software).There is only a bleak chance that you may get it in some software specialized in E-Manual creation.
Also to my knowledge the auto-explosion takes place for assembly components which are assembled using constraints.Since the array in itself doesn't create any constraints in between the instances so they can not be auto exploded.(i may be wrong though).
