Linking to BOM turns off exploded views

When I link a view to the BOM, the view will no longer be in the exploded state, and, the option is no longer available.  This doesn't happen everytime, but it happens often...too often.  I constantly have to recreate views where I have made section cuts, and various other details that are time consuming, and I need to figure out if there is some setting that can be changed to turn on or off to keep this from happening.

TIA,
