You can create a projected view of an exploded assembly view.

To create a projected view:

  1. Click Projected View on the Drawing toolbar, or click Insert, Drawing View, Projected.

    The Projected View PropertyManager appears.

  2. In the graphics area, select a view from which to project.

  3. To select the direction of projection, move the pointer to the appropriate side of the selected view.

As you move the pointer, a preview of the view is displayed if you selected Show contents while dragging drawing view. You can also control the alignment of the view.

In this example, the projected view is to the right of the selected view.

 

  1. When the view is where you want it, click to place the view. The projection view is placed on the sheet, aligned to the view from which it was created. By default, you can move a projection view only in the direction of the projection. You can change the alignment of the view if necessary.
