This sample assembly is small. If it was larger, you would notice a time savings placing the component with a substitute level of detail representation active, compared to a representation with all components active, or even a level of detail representation with some components suppressed. Notice the Capacity Meter lists only three documents open: the top-level assembly, the WormGear, and the Derived Substitute derived part.
- Expand WormGear
RepresentationsLevel of Detail, and double-click the All Internals Off representation. With this representation active, eight documents are open. - Double-click the Master representation. With this representation, 25 documents are open. Beyond the reduced document count, because the derived part has a smaller file size than the sum of its parts, you realize further memory savings.
