After creating the shot view in assemblies, sometimes there is a need to show the shooting line. Older line type named as Sketch of the shot line It works very poorly, In my opinion, it only makes sense after selecting cylindrical walls.

In turn, a newer solution, or Smart explode lines They work much better, but not perfect.

What do I mean??

Well, three components have been moved in the shot below. However, the program generated lines from leading from the initial position – As a result, the line protrudes far beyond the element. Of course you can try to change Reference point in the bookmark Component route line – sometimes it even works, But not always.

If one of the three options does not work, I approve the lines in this form and I edit the sketch.

Then I highlight the line end and move on a specific axis, changing its coordinates. Quite a primitive method, but effective.

The second way is it, that I choose the option under the right Place smart explode lines and I also modify the sketch.

No less in this case you have to be careful, because all lines lose their connections to geometry (they become blue). The advantage is it, that you can modify them freely, dimension, move, and you can even replace the line.
