Whatever you do don't use Explode.

Use Move.

Modern CAD programs like Autodesk Inventor have tools for creating exploded views.

Not in AutoCAD.

Is that clearer?

AutoCAD is just a starter program. It isn't designed to be as powerful as Inventor.

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.
