Reposition command

Repositions a part with respect to another reference part in an exploded view. This can be useful when you want to change the position of a part after using the Automatic Explode command.  

To reposition a part, select the part you want to reposition (A), then position the cursor over the reference part (B). The reference part highlights, and an arrow is displayed on the reference part to indicate which side of the reference part the selected part will be repositioned to.

If the arrow does not point in the direction you want, highlight a different reference part. If the reference part is the last part in an explode vector sequence, a dynamic arrow is displayed to indicate that you can choose the side of reference part where you want to reposition the selected part.

If the part you select is within a bound subassembly (A), all the parts in the subassembly will be repositioned (B).

You use this command to change the order in which the parts are exploded. To relocate a part without changing its order, you can use the Move Exploded Part command.
