If the configuration manager in SOLIDWORKS is used correctly, it can clarify and clean up your complicated projects. In this video, we learn how to use create exploded views in SOLIDWORKS, including linear and radial movements, and multi-step exploded views. Multiple exploded views can be made, and they are all accessible through the configuration manager in your assembly. We also learn how to animate an exploded view in SOLIDWORKS and a collapsed animation using the animation wizard. Basic motion study modification such as timing and part selection is also covered using the timeline and time bar.
