question RE: exploded views

[emc2673]

OK once again I have come upon a stumbling block, and I was doing soo well too.

my question is regarding general info in seperate exploding steps for exploded views. so I have figured out how to create a "NEW" exploded step... click on the part to explode then a face for the direction , then click accept.... bur I have have yet figure out how to move the part. the part; once exploded goes in a general outward position perpendicular to the face you chose but what if I want to move the part up or down since my assembly has a ton of parts to it some pieces overlap each other. also I am trying to add explode lines is there an easy way to edit the lines?

thanks in advance for the help

That's why they are called "explode steps"... one direction equals one step. If you want a part/assy exploded in a different direction, you need another "explode step".

As for editing explode lines, I have found it much easier to just delete the existing lines and reinsert them. This may not work for you, but I found it easier.
