AutoCAD Tutorial: Using BURST vs. EXPLODE in AutoCAD – 2 Minute Tuesday

Brandon

Hey Everybody,

As usual, it’s Tuesday and I’m back again with a  new video and accompanying tutorial post that I wanted to share with you all.

At this point, I’m mostly just mentioning this for my own benefit and any new readers/viewers that have missed the last handful of 2 minute Tuesday posts here on the blog, either way, I’ve recently partnered with the AutoCAD Blog to produce some of my favourite CAD Tips as Tuesday Tip articles along with an accompanying Two Minute Tuesday Video.  You can see the full list of my articles on the AutoCAD Blog here, and check out the videos on my channel here: youtube.com/c/cadintentions.

In this weeks article, I wanted to focus on the lesser-known alternative to the Explode command, BURST. Burst is a great option for quite a few use cases where explode would overkill or simply a waste of time. In short, BURST is most useful anytime you need to explode a block or object but would like to preserve the Attribute values of the block instead of reverting them back to the default value, as a bonus, the block layers are also preserved when using the BURST command. Hit the link below to jump over to the AutoCAD blog and take a look at utilizing the BURST command more in your own drawings.
