Exploded Views
Illustrated parts catalogues often make use of exploded views to show every part of an assembly. In this type of drawing, all parts are typically in their relative positions and expanded outward. Each part is identified both by its physical appearance and by its reference number, which is used on the parts list. An exploded view drawing can be of great assistance, when dismantling and reassembling a complex component.
