Line Drawing Editor

Post by DarrelMWood »

Have been exploring the line drawing editor more lately.
I know you can do an exploded 3D view in Line Drawing Editor using your mouse wheel. However, I have a trackball with no mouse wheel (I've experimented with some of the stuff on it, to no avail).
In the eCabinets manual I downloaded, it says that you can explode the cabinet in the Cabinet Editor (using the slidebar) and take it to the Line Drawing Editor. When I do this, it puts the cabinet back together all nice and neat, not exploded.
Am I doing something wrong? Is the manual wrong? Is there any way to keep the drawing exploded? Or do I need to go out and get a mouse (which I hate) with a wheel?

In the LDE highlight the cabinet and use the page up and down keys to explode the cabinet.

Darrel,

The documentation explains that incorrectly. It will by design collapse the cab when going to drawings. I will have them updated the documentation. Lamar's post is obviously the correct way to explode when you do not have a wheel.
