A view representation preserves a part display configuration that you can recall by name when you work on the part.
Use View representations to store appearance overrides, work feature visibility, and view orientation in a part model.
In drawings, when you create a view, specify a view representation
Information stored in view representation
View representations capture the following display characteristics:
- Part appearance
- Sketch visibility
- Sketch block visibility
- Work feature visibility
- UCS visibility
- Browser expansion state
- Zoom magnification
- Viewing angle
Uses for view representations
Use View representations to control the display state of a part during the design process, such as:
- Visibility of work features.
- Configurations of the appropriate camera viewing angle, and zoom area to recall.
- Visibility of sketches.
Use View representations to create drawing views. In the part, set up the view representations, specifying view orientation, visibility, and appearance. Save each view representation with a unique name, and specify the View representation to use when you create drawing views. Lock the view representation 
, and to control whether the drawing view receives updates to the view representations, enable associativity to the drawing view 
.
