Exploded views in SW 2004

Exploded views in SW 2004

(OP)
Has anyone else had problems with assemblies with exploded views in 2004?

When I open any assembly I have created using SW 2003 (that contains an exploded view) it no longer shows the explode sketch in the assembly any more.

It still shows in the drawing, but won't show in the assembly. I can select it, and it highlights all the entities, but as soon as you deselect it disappears again.

I dont have a problem creating exploded views in assemblies created in 2004.

Thanks Scott,

I can't believe it was that simple.

Either explode sketches were shown regardless of view/sketch settings in 2003, or 2004 turns off view/sketch in parts created in 2003.
