RE-ORDERING STEPS IN EXPLODED VIEWS

RE-ORDERING STEPS IN EXPLODED VIEWS

RE-ORDERING STEPS IN EXPLODED VIEWS

(OP)
With SolidWorks 2004 (standard) you can now animate exploded views. However, for it to appear realistic the order in which the parts are exploded needs to be correct. If a mistake is made, is it possible to retrospectively re-order the explode steps? I have tried moving the explode steps within the feature tree in the same way as you would re-order parts within an assembly, but without success.

RE: RE-ORDERING STEPS IN EXPLODED VIEWS

I haven't found a good way of changing which step comes first.  About the only thing I could recommend is to switch the parts that are selected then that step.
Hope that helps.
