Import associative View representations

You can associatively import View representations. You assign a View representation to a subassembly at any level in the assembly hierarchy and make it associative. Changes to the View are represented in higher-level assemblies that contain the subassembly.

  1. In the assembly browser, right-click the subassembly, and then select Edit.
  2. In the active subassembly, right-click the Representation folder, and then select Representation.
  3. In the Representation dialog box, click the arrow to select a View representation from the list.
  4. Select the Associative check box, and then click OK. If applicable, choose one:
    • If another designer created the View representation, you are asked to confirm. Select Modify View Representation to change and maintain associativity.
    • To modify the View representation temporarily while you edit the subassembly, choose Remove Associativity.
  5. Modify the View representation as desired by changing component visibility or enabled status.
  6. Click Save to save the assembly.
