Exploded View in Separate Draft Sheet 1

[MohammadSRE]

Hello,

I successfully made an assembly and created an exploded view, and I managed to have that exploded view in the draft sheet. But my point now is that I need that draft sheet to be separate from the drawing itself.
I want to start a new drawing file, and open the assembly I want.. so that I have a separate draft for the exploded view.
Can you please help me to get this done? Is there any way to do this?

Thanks in advance.

At the moment, the exploded view MUST be created in the same file as the Drawing where you wish to see the exploded view. In other words, you can NOT pass an exploded view from an Assembly up to the Drawing file in which that Assembly has been added as a component, i.e. a Master Model drawing.

John,
Could the view names with an asterix apply here ?

Unfortunately, even if you did create an exploded view in the Assembly file and then created a Master Model Drawing of that Assembly, when you selected that View in which the Explosion was 'saved' (it being one of the so-called '*' views), while the view can be placed on the Drawing, the 'explosion' data (the alternate positions of the components) will not be included. This is a known issue and to try and retain this data and make it usable within the current mechanism for using Model specific views in an upper level Drawings is just not feasible. This is being looked into and may be addressed in a future effort to improve the creation and sharing of user-defined views from one file to another.
