how do I explode the parts in 2d mode so I can work on them.


If the "parts" are components and you want to explode them to make them
noncomponents, simply select, right click and select explode. Once
exploded you will have to make the pieces in to a component again if you
want them to be component.

You can edit a component by left triple clicking the component. Or
select the component and right click and choose edit component.


I thought there was an easier way to have all the parts printed out so
you had an easier way to print all the parts.


One more thought, if there is no easy way to explode the whole model for
parts.
Is there a way in the model to duplicate all the parts in another layer
or sub model or whatever so I just duplicate the parts in this model for
printing them? and can control which layer I am showing?
