Exploded views moving assemblies

[dammerel]

Hi all
when doing an explosed view is there a way of moving a whole sub-assembly as one item not as individual parts?

I may be missing something but I try picking the assembly in the view but it only picks the individual parts then I tried picking it from the tree but that did not work

Thanks Andrew

In Manual Explode mode, select an item in the workspace that belongs to the sub assembly, Triad should appear. Select the movement direction of the Triad that is required, but do NOT move anything. Now click on the sub-assembly in Design Explorer. If you now attempt to move, the whole sub-assembly will move.

As long as the triad remains visible you can change the selection to move by clicking in DE.

Clicking in the assembly window is most useful for setting the triad, you get a different version depending on if you click a flat face or a cylindrical one.
