Thanks guys for the quick responses...
Well, I made each panel a group so they don't stick together.
Gaieus: This is spot on! This is the plugin I was looking for. There's only one thing I will have to do manually: the panels are actually 2D (the third dimension, thickness, is not important. It's always 18mm) so I need to rotate the panels that are perpendicular to the front view manually but that I can handle. This way I can make an easy-to-interpret printout.
Dave R: This exploded view, do you make it manually or do you use a plugin like the one Gaieus suggests?
Cheers!
