Preset Explode in Creo View Express

[MikeGwin]

Does anyone know how the Preset Explode works in Creo View Express?

Is it supposed to be able to show user defined exploded views from Creo or Pro\E that you define in the View Manager?

Will this work for Native Creo files (*.asm)?

Will ths work for Creo View formats (*.ed, *.edz, *.pvs, *.pvz)?

I know that it works when we use the "PVZ" file, created in Creo Illustrate (then we can open the PVZ file in Creo View Express or Creo View Lite and start the animation, or explosions, which are located in separate "Figure").

I exported a Creo (Pro/E) assembly to *.PVZ format, then opened it in Creo View Express.

I could not figure out how to view the predefined exploded view from Creo (*.asm) in Creo View Express (*.pvz)

What did you mean by seperate figure?

I mean it works with PVZ files that were created (exported from) in Creo Illustrate and not in Creo Parametric (or Creo/Elements Pro).
