from exploded status to TechDraw #21

I am not able to maintain the exploded status and to take it into a techdraw page. Some movements are taken and some not and there is no apparently reason. As soon as I press the button to add a view in the techdraw WB the object steps back to a previous status so some part are disassembled and some not.

@Pekkios I bet you've created your parts via PartDesign (draft+pad) and then used it to create the EA, right? I was stuck on this same problem for months and recently I accidentally stumbled on a solution. You first have to convert the part to a simple body, and use that one to create your Exploded assembly - only then you will be able to see the exploded view in your Technical Drawing. Not sure why this is not mentioned in the README at least (let alone why is this step required at all), but there you go, hope that helps.

i think it has to do with the complicated Placements... when you bake that all in simple bodies its all fixed...
