Design View Representations

A Design View is created in the assembly environment and preserves a designated representation view of assembly components. It can be mapped to drawing views of the assembly file.

If you want to document only specific pipe runs in a complicated assembly, you can define a specific design view. In this design view, components that are contained in the top-level assembly but not within the pipe runs are hidden. Thus, when the relevant design view is selected for the drawing file, components with Visibility turned off do not display.

Before you create drawing views for pipe runs, you can customize specific design views for the assembly environment using the Design View Representations command.

Note: You can set the association with the design view when creating a drawing view. The association with the design view can be changed after the drawing view is created. When associations are set, it is possible to update the drawing view automatically when changes are made to the assembly in the selected design view.
