• Linear
  The linear type transforms the parts of the assembly in a straight line following the selected axis.
  

• Radial
  The radial type transforms the parts of the assembly in a circular direction around the selected axis starting from the coordinate system origin.
  
• Spherical 
  The spherical type transforms the parts of the assembly in a spherical direction around the coordinate system origin.
   

Select the method of spacing from one of the following:

• Distance Multiplier
  The parts move in greater increments as they move farther away from the origin.
• Equal Space
  The parts move an equal amount each time the percentage slider is moved. 
• Fixed Distance
  The parts move at a fixed distance each time.

• Coordinate System
  Use the global coordinate system or select a user defined coordinate system as the point of origin for the exploded transformations.
  
  This is used with all types of exploded assemblies.
   
• Axis
  Select the X-axis, Y-axis, or Z-axis on the direction the selected exploded assembly type is to take place. 
  Used only with the Linear and Radial types. 

Select to perform the assembly explode on the entire assembly or selected parts.

• All Parts (default)
• Select Parts
  When selected one is able to select parts in the graphical window or the assembly tree.
   
  First click on the Select button to start selection. Click Stop Selection when done.
  Select a part in the list and click the Remove button to remove from the list of selected parts.

•  Slider Bar
  Use the percentage slider bar (0-100) to view the assembly exploding in the graphical area in real-time.
   

Click on the Create User View button to save the exploded assembly transformation.

When clicking the Cancel button, the graphical area returns to the state (view) in which it started.
