Assembly drawing with automated exploded view creation

[MarinaAlb]

Hi all.

Well, it turns out that I’m working with Solid Edge Design and Drafting. As I’m still new to Solid Edge these different versions are a little confusing to me. I’ve done some searching on the net, and it looks to me that Solid Edge Design and Drafting is a full-featured CAD solution.

According to the adds this version contains assembly drawing with automated exploded view creation. (

I’m sorry for again bothering you with my lack of knowledge, but can anyone advice me how to create exploded view in assembly. I’ve finished a drawing, and now I would like to explode it.

Hi MarinaAlb,

You can create an exploded view of an assembly by activating the ERA (Explode Render Animate) environment. You will find the command for this on the Tools Ribbon within the assembly.

Once you are in ERA you can use the Auto Exoplode command which uses the assembly relationships to figure out how the explode should go(this may need some manual adjustment). Or you can use the manual explode commands and gradually explode the different elements. Or you can use the move commands to drag things around.

Hope that helps get you started

As far as I know the exploding happens in the model not the 'drawing' as such. You create the explosion per Jon above, then you save it as a 'configuration' (configuration in SE is not the same as in SW). You then create a view in your drawing based on this configuration (the view creation wizard steps you through this).
