      Anyone know if there is a way to ungroup groups without exploding components? Trying to avoid having to explode, deselect all, then re-select groups and explode again. Is there any way to differentiate groups from components when exploding? I use components to give me a kit list for the jobs I work on. I have had a couple of occasions where I have exploded one level too far and exploded a component because it was still selected as part of an exploded group (hope this makes sense). Basically I want to be able to explode all the groups in a drawing but leaving all the components intact.
      Thanks

        Go to the Outliner and select the groups there. Then do the Explode operation. You'll easily be able differentiate the groups from the components.

          Thanks Dave,
          Will give that a go - not tired using outliner like that yet but will have a play with it.
