Explode Preferences Dialog Box

[vinson.loos]

Hi guys and gals,


Just got back to work after a few month furlow and am having a hard time finding the "Exploder Preferences Dialog Box". It's the box where in WF 4.0 you could select reset, increment, move with children, etc.


I'm now using WF 5.0 and the explode functionality has been changed quite a bit since 4.0 and am struggling a bit. I like selecting the csys to move the components, but not much else


I specifically want to find the 'Reset' button for a component misplaced by 'smooth' rather than 'increment' translation.

I stumbled on the dialog box yesterday and cannot find it today. Oh well, maybe tomorrow unless someone has a clue.

Thanks in advance,

Dash Board, Options Tab

* Copy Position
* Motion Increment
* Move with Children

Actually once you figure it out you will see that WF5 is much better than previous releases:

* moved to dashboard
* selecting the csys to move components
* new rotation functionality
* Control select several components, then select csys of last component to move all as a group
* animation of explode states
* etc

Select the component, rmb select "Toggle Explode" (or select the "Toggle the exploded state of the selected component(s)" icon) in the dashboard
