sportsguy0502 Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Hey guys, Im not really a beginner, but not an expert on autocad, but i would like to know how to explode an object, like they have it on this weeks image of the week. I cant do it or find out how to, so any help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD Mather Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Whatever you do don't use Explode. Use Move. Modern CAD programs like Autodesk Inventor have tools for creating exploded views. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMark Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Modern CAD programs like Autodesk Inventor have tools for creating exploded views. Is that clearer? AutoCAD is just a starter program. It isn't designed to be as powerful as Inventor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeScott Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Hmm.. I wonder if that's something you could make a lisp for, or if it'd need too much tweaking? Like, pick a centerpoint, then pick the parts (as blocks only), then assign a "MAX TRAVEL" distance and then the program will base the direction of travel on the angle from the centerpoint to the insertion points of the blocks.
