Explode Group

You can convert a component into a group, which also removes the component's dimension table. The component's geometry will remain the same it was before being exploded. The component's geometric constraints are retained.

  1. On the tab, in the Symbols group, select Explode Group.
  2. Select a component.
  3. Select Confirm.

Select a component and then select the context-sensitive function, Explode Component.

Note:
  • You can save the component's dimension table data before exploding it by selecting the Export function in the component's dimension table. You can restore the dimension table data with the Import function. The dimension table data cannot be restored to the component if the number of constraints or variable names do not match.
