place an exploded view.
00:05
After completing this video,
00:06
you'll be able to create an exploded view and create a parts table
00:12
Infusion 3 60. Let's carry on with our Blade Guard Assembly drawing
00:16
to get started. Let's add a third sheet.
00:19
Now we want to add a base view but this time we're
00:21
going to include the animation that we created for our exploded view.
00:25
So we'll select base view.
00:28
We're going to navigate to the representation and select storyboard one.
00:33
As we do this we can see that we have the exploded view on screen.
00:37
Remember that the exploded view takes the last position in the animation timeline.
00:41
It is important when you're creating an exploded view that you reference.
00:45
Either a default view such as our home view or you create a new named view.
00:50
Let's go ahead and place the view here and say okay
00:53
back in the design.
00:55
If we want to create a new view we can rotate the model around.
00:59
Go to our named views folder right click and create a new name view.
01:04
I'm gonna name this for drawing,
01:07
I'm gonna save the design
01:10
and navigate back to our detailed drawing
01:13
notice. We get a warning that our reference model is out of date.
01:16
We can select this to update to the new design.
01:20
If we double click on this view and we take a look at our orientation,
01:23
we can now see that we have a four drawing view.
01:26
So if you need to create a new view,
01:28
creating a named view is going to be an important step in that process
01:32
for this example, let's go ahead and use the new name.
01:34
View and close the drawing view.
01:37
The next thing that we want to add is a parts table
01:40
From the tables drop down notice that there are many different types of tables.
01:43
We can add
01:44
the table with the lightning bolt will automatically create a parts list
01:47
with balloon identify IRS or if you're using a sheet metal part,
01:51
it will create a table with the bend identifiers or it can create a custom table.
01:55
You can also manually create a custom table,
01:58
select parts list with balloons or you can manually enter balloons.
02:03
It's important to look through all of these different options
02:05
and some of them will be more applicable than others.
02:08
For example,
02:08
the bend table and identify IRS are important
02:11
for sheet metal parts but don't apply here
02:13
for our example. Let's go ahead and use the parts list.
02:17
I'm going to anchor this to the upper right
02:18
hand corner and note that balloons are automatically created.
02:22
I need to reposition my view a little bit and note that the balloons move with it.
02:26
We can also reposition the balloons by left clicking and holding down
02:30
on the gray dot located in the center of the balloon.
02:33
If we want to reorder these, we have the option under tables and to re number
02:39
when we re number,
02:40
we can remember them based on component importance or the order on the drawing.
02:44
For example, if we want this component to be number one,
02:47
we simply select it as number one.
02:49
We can select the bushings as number two and three.
02:52
The washer,
02:53
the bolt and this washer as we go through that will
02:57
reorder the balloons as well as the parts list itself.
03:01
The information in the parts list comes directly
03:03
from the properties inside of the design.
03:06
If we go back to our design and we take a look at the blade guard post.
03:10
For example, if we right click and take a look at its properties,
03:14
we can modify some of the component properties such as the part number.
03:18
Part name and description.
03:20
I'm going to modify the part name by removing the one
03:24
And I'm going to modify the part number by saying BGP for Blade Guard Post 1001.
03:31
We can also enter a description the material is going to come directly from the
03:35
physical material applied and any other information
03:38
will be contained inside of those properties.
03:40
If we save this design and then we go back to our
03:43
detailed drawing will be prompted to update to the latest version.
03:47
Once we do the parts list will update,
03:49
giving our part number the description we left
03:51
empty and the material is still steel.
03:54
We do have the ability to modify our parts table.
03:57
We can include things like the part name which in this case was blade guard post.
04:02
We can also include things like the mass which is going
04:04
to come from the materials and the volume of our part.
04:08
We can also Reprioritize the orientation of these in our table.
04:13
I'm going to remove mass and I'm also going to remove the description,
04:16
leaving just the part number and part name from here.
04:20
I can close and now I've created my exploded view
04:23
from our animation as well as the parts list.
04:26
Let's go ahead and make sure that we save this before moving on.
