Hi,

I cannot figure out how to create a proper exploded view drawings with dashed lines indicating the assembly patterns. Any help?

Here's an example of a drawing I did in SolidWorks:

    You will need to explode it manually, 
    one way may be to suppress all mates, then drag your parts out.
    Then create a saved position
    Then you can insert that saved position into a drawing and use center lines to connect holes.

    you could also create an in-context of that position and create sketches is a part studio to connect the holes, then insert the sketches into the drawing
