The Exploded View Module has been realized to give the designers a fast and productive axonometric work space in CADs.

The standard work space is set to work in isometric orthogonal axonometry. The bottom left icon adapt based on the angles of the chosen axonometry, in this case isometric (30° - 150° - 90°) in reference to the X axis.

In full compliance with the mathematics projections, the lengths along the three axes are uniformly scaled by the same value: 0.816, this means that a cube of side 1.00 is drawing with side 0.816.

The conversion formulae is very simple:

Lx = 0.816 * L
Ly = 0.816 * L
Lz = 0.816 * L

In the case of the Exploded View Module it is simplistic to talk only about isometric axonometry, the module in fact allows you to create drawings in any type of axonometry; to do this, simply change the setting of the icon that appear at the bottom left, by changing the icon to dimetric, trimetric or free projection, all the module commands adapt to the new projection except for external libraries which are made in isometric axonometry.

To improve the icon visibility it is possible to choose the colours of the axis and the grid, you can also determine if the icon must be position at the origin or the in the bottom left angle.

The module uses a coordinates system represented by the icon, which can be considered as an alternative UCS.
