Create an exploded view in the Animation workspace, place it in your drawing, and label components with balloons.

In Fusion, an exploded view separates, or explodes, an assembly,
00:09
so that you can view the individual components.
00:13
After generating an exploded view in the Animation workspace,
00:17
you can place it in a drawing to help show the relationship of the parts.
00:21
To create an exploded view, begin with your assembly open in the Animation workspace.
00:27
You can start with the current storyboard or create a new storyboard, if needed.
00:33
In this example, begin with Storyboard1.
00:36
In the Browser, select the top level of the assembly that you want to explode;
00:41
here, a Caster assembly is selected.
00:45
Then, on the toolbar, expand Transform and select the level you wish to explode.
00:51
You can select: Auto Explode: One Level, to explode the first-level children components of the assembly;
00:59
Auto Explode: All Levels, to explode all levels of an assembly, for a complete exploded view;
01:07
or Manual Explode, to manually select components and the axis that they should explode along.
01:13
In this example, because there is only one level, select Auto Explode: One Level.
01:19
The assembly explodes into its individual components.
01:23
Now, use the options on the Auto Explode toolbar to adjust the appearance of the components.
01:30
For example, you can use the Explosion Scale slider to modify the distance between the assembly components.
01:37
Move the slider left to place the objects closer together, or right to place them further apart.
01:44
Selecting Trail Line Visibility shows the trail lines for each object.
01:50
You can also expand the drop-down to select either One-Step Explosion,
01:55
where all components explode at once,
01:57
or Sequential Explosion, where components explode in sequence.
02:01
However, since this selection applies to the animation and not to the drawing view,
02:06
leave One-Step Explosion selected.
02:09
Click OK, then Save your design and click OK again to close the Save dialog.
02:16
Next, open your drawing to add the exploded view.
02:19
In this example, a drawing has already been created with multiple views,
02:24
and you see a notification that an update was made in the referenced design.
02:29
First, to update the drawing, on the Application bar, click Update.
02:34
Then, click Create > Base View.
02:40
In the Drawing View dialog, for the Representation, select Storyboard1.
02:46
Now, when you place your pointer over the sheet,
02:52
you see a preview of the exploded view attached to your cursor.
02:56
Next, adjust the Orientation.
02:59
If needed, select different isometric views and preview each by moving your pointer over the drawing sheet.
03:06
In this case, select NW isometric, then click in the drawing to place the view.
03:12
You can customize the view further if needed.
03:17
Back in the dialog, for this example, adjust the Style to Visible Edges,
03:22
change the Tangent Edges to Full Length, and set Center Marks and Center Lines to Holes.
03:30
When you are finished, click OK to generate the exploded view.
03:35
From here, you may want to add numbered balloons to call out individual parts.
03:40
On the toolbar, select Tables > Balloon.
03:45
In the Balloon dialog, leave the Type set to Standard.
03:50
Then, select each component and click to place a numbered balloon.
03:55
When you are finished, Close the Balloon dialog.
03:60
Exploded views help not only to identify each component,
04:04
but also to illustrate the construction and assembly of your design.
