My problem is the following : I have a fairly heavy assembly (about 1900 pieces). This one contains 9 configurations that allow me to manage 9 exploded from different angles of view. I also have 9 display states (related to configurations) to vary my component appearances according to the associated configuration. So far so good. Where it gets complicated is when I do my drawing. Ideally, I would like to have 9 folios, each corresponding to a stage of splitting with its associated nomenclature. The problem is that when inserting an exploded view I can't find my exploded lines and this is very detrimental to the understanding of the exploded. In fact, the only way to make them appear is to activate my exploded configuration in my 3D file. well the problem is that as soon as I create my 2nd folio with the second exploded view I lose the exploded lines again and if I activate my corresponding exploded configuration in my 3D well my folio 2 is ok but the first one loses its lines again!! (hair pulling)
Not easy to explain so I hope I was as clear as possible.
I should point out that I don't encounter this problem on small assemblies.
I tried by disabling the complex assembly mode but nothing helps.
Totally agree with you: unfortunately I don't do what I want! I am not a decision-maker on the change of version and this is all the more true this year with the change of policy of Solidworks (or rather Dassault!) which has put the knife to the throat of its customers who will have no choice but to update since the penalties of upgrade arrears will amount to the same rates than a classic update -> shameful.
