Here’s the example file with some extras and below you’ll see the video. Unfortunately you will have to make each exploded view from scratch in the assembly, there is no way to copy that I know of. Then you can choose which one you display on the drawing. What you can do is create an exploded part and use the exploded configuration in an assembly that adds hardware. You can just keep adding exploded views in the assembly. It may be a little more tedious since you’re not able to select multiple parts like in assemblies and it’s not the best for showing exploded views of hardware. Now you can switch between configurations and see the difference between the two. Change the dimension to 1.00” and in the configurations pull-down, select This Configuration. A well done exploded view will also help in the understanding of how the entire assembly fits together. Instead of showing multiple views and angles, one view can be used to show all components. Go back to the FeatureManager, double-click on the last feature you added. Exploding an assembly view in SolidWorks can make all the difference when trying to show every component involved in the making. Select the configuration tab on the FeatureManager, right click the part name and select Add Configuration… Now, just name it “exploded” and select OK. This is so we can show an exploded version and an unexploded version. Note: For Circular type stuff that you want to show exploded, it’s works better to make it as a revolve. Extrude the feature like the first one, except uncheck Merge Results just below the Distance setting. Instead of adding a relation where the sketch attaches to the first feature, add a dimension. This could be what everything else is connected to. Then rewind it backwards… then forwards, then backwards, then forwards… until you picture it in your mind and wake up screaming with nightmares about it.
Not too easy sometimes, but think of how you’ll put it together.
If you’re impatient, you can skip down to the video.įor an example, lets say we’re creating a simple model for some chunks of metal to weld together. Here’s the process with all the steps laid out. However, did you ever think you could create exploded views of these parts? Are the wheels are turning? Well, it really only requires a couple additional steps and a little forethought.
