This command explodes the selected entities by rotation.

 

Creation stages / Use:

 

Click the icon or select Explosion > Rotation... from the drop-down menu.

 

  1. Specify the rotation axis.

  2. Specify the angle of this rotation.

  3. Select the group or entities to move.

 

 

  • The displacement angle is taken between the origin point and the center of the part to move.

  • The double-click on a moved entity or its explosion line to display the moving dimension and modify the value.

  • You can move an exploded entity by selecting it with the left mouse button and moving the mouse with the button held down.

 

 

Available Options:

 

 

The box allow to hide selected entities during the use of the command, to be able to select other entities more easily, especially those who were behind.

 

 

  • You are able to use a reference part for your displacement.

If, as a result, the reference part is moved, exploded entities that use this item as reference will also be moved.

  • To remove an entity in this filed, just click an empty place of the graphic area when this field is active.

 

 

If the item moved is used as reference by another displacement, selecting this cell will turn off this reference.

The item is therefore moved without moving items using it as reference.
