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 
.
Use View representations when working with parts in assembly files. Assembly view representations store the active representation of part files. Use representations to show parts in different appearances for design purposes or emphasis. Use representations to control the display of work features during constraining, or other assembly processes.
