in short, can't be done easily (that i know of).





in sub-assy;

create a second configuration.

in this new configuration, suppress appropriate mates so that desired
components can move.

add mates to components to depict exploded view (yeah i know, what a pita).



in primary assembly;

create a derived config from the default.

set sub-assy (rmb, properties) to use second config from above.

create exploded view of derived config.



hopefully someone has a better method.

If you want to use the exploded state of a sub assembly you have to manually
explode it again from within the assembly. It is a tree hugging PITA.

I don't know if 2005 has any added capability regarding this.

thanks, so used to not using that capability that i forgot about it.

it case it's not clear to everyone;
in an assy, a sub-assy can exploded by selecting, "component part only" in
the assembly exploder dialog box (gui).

In 2005 you can now "re-use Sub-assembly Explode"...
