- [Instructor] Creating an exploded view
inside of a SolidWorks drawing
can be a very straightforward process.
The first thing you need to remember is
that you can create exploded views
of both assemblies and part files.
If you're working with a multi-body part file,
it does give you the ability to create
an exploded view in your configurations.
Now, while this isn't a video on
how to create an exploded view,
we just want to show you how to put it
inside of your drawing.
But essentially, if you go to the configuration
you have and say, "Add New Exploded View",
you can walk through the steps
to separate the parts and lay out your exploded view.
The important part we want to cover right now is
how to insert that view
into your drawing once it's prepared.
So now that we have our exploded view created,
I'm going to click save.
I'm going to go to file, make drawing from assembly.
I'm going to click on the templates
that I have here and go to the basic drawing template.
I have some additional custom templates here
that I've created in the past,
but I'm going to use the basic drawing template.
I'm going to select B size landscape.
Hit okay.
And now, you'll notice in the view pallet on the right
we do have an isometric exploded view here.
But, if you weren't using the view pallet
to drag it in, you could just hit model view,
select that assembly, and then underneath
the configuration here there's a checkbox
for show an exploded or model break state.
So what that means is:
When I click to drop my view in,
it's already in an exploded state.
But, if I deselect that option,
it collapses back onto itself again.
So really, that's the whole thing
for adding in an exploded view is just
having that configuration, and then being able
to toggle it on and off,
and select the exploded view that you want to use.
