Exploded views

Is it true that when making an exploded view that any "subassembly" will have to be "grouped" to keep it from separating?

I think that's what I found unless I've done something wrong.

    You can also choose the sub assembly in the instances list and move it that way

    In the explode step dialog, if you select the assembly instance from the assembly tree (instead of a specific part instance from the graphics area) everything in the subassembly should move together. If that's not what you're seeing, please let us know!

    Best,
