Put 3-view and exploded-view drawings from an animated design on 1 Drawing Sheet

[JayWBeck]

I am trying to create the drawing shown in file "03 Drawing goal..."  it shows a 3-view of a design and an exploded view of the same design.

I must use the animation workspace to help set the starting positions of my design.

I can do each by itself but not both on one sheet.

I animate to the first position and "Use animation" to create a drawing.  Get the results in file "01 DRAWING Sheet1 ..."

I then use the transformation of explode all and again "Use animation" to create the drawing.  I get file "02 DRWING Sheet2..."

I can't create the 2nd drawing if I try to to place it on an already created sheet - says the design is not up to date.  Because I animated it the second time.

Is there a sequence of steps to accomplish what I am trying to do?

Maybe I'm fundamentally missing something - like copy/paste a drawing and table from one sheet to another? I don't how to do that.

Your help would be appreciated.

One possibility is to use your main assembly to be the Jaw Close views and then use your method to add the exploded view animation to the one sheet.  That works.  Do the method you outline, I get the same warning but after updating it refuses the second animation.

You can follow below steps to get required result.

• Create 2 Storyboard (One with First position & One with exploded view)

          

          

• Save the design.
• Create drawing from animation & select storyboard 1.

             

• Place view on sheet 1.
• Again revoke the base view command in drawing on same sheet and select reference as storyboard 2(exploded view)

          

• Place it on canvas.

Thanks for the answer.  I was able to repeat what you suggested.

I think a key part of your answer was realizing I needed to put the two views initially on two different animation storylines.

In your directions I would ask you to explain in more detail the following statement you made:

"again revoke the base view command in drawing sheet and select ...."

I have googled without success if there is a revoke base view command.  Seems not. could you explain?

Thanks again for your help.

After placing the first view...just click the base view command button as shown in the fourth image highlighted in the red box.
