I am trying to create an exploded view of an assembly and 1 of the componants needs to move off in a direction other than the default X,Y,Z planes. It's been a while but it seems like I have done this before. Has anyone else done this? Maybe you could refresh my memory.

Thanks

Mike

Single step would sure be nice, but I could live with the old 2 step trick if I needed to
 
I thought it was possible to select any planar face, plane, straight edge or axis for explode direction. Did this change?
 
Can you create a plane perpendicular to the direction needed, & use it for the explode direction?

In SW06, I beleive you can simply drag a part where required.
