What's the trick to display exploded lines in a drawing?

RMB on the exploded view derived configuration and select "Smart Explode Lines". They should then be visible in the exploded drawing view.

Thanks for the suggestion, Mike, but I don't seem to have that option.

Since I posted the question, the lines magically appeared. Must be some sort of regen problem, as I didn't do anything to make them appear. Unfortunately, all my manual regens didn't make anything happen, but after ignoring it for a while, SW figured it out on its own.

If you have already added them and are simply waiting for them to show up on the drawing when opened or switching between sheets I have seen it take up to a minute for them to "reappear" especially on a large assembly.
