<H1>Types of Simplified Representations</H1>
The main types of simplified representation are Geometry, Graphics, and Symbolic. Use the View Manager dialog box to select the representation type. All simplified representations provide access to components in the assembly and are based on the Master representation.
Graphics and Geometry representations speed up the retrieval process of large assemblies. However, you cannot modify component features in them. Assembly features such as cuts and holes are represented, so an accurate geometric model is displayed while performance is improved. You can access component model information from the Info menu or from the Model Tree. However, because Graphics and Geometry representations do not contain part model features, individual part feature information is not available for these representations.

Master representations reflect the fully detailed assembly. The Model Tree lists all its components and identifies them as included, excluded, or substituted.</LI>[/list]
Note: When an assembly is created, the Default representation and the Master representation are identical. You can update the Default representation to create a variation of the Master representation.

Graphics representations contain only information for display so you can quickly browse through a large assembly. Graphics representations cannot be modified or referenced. The type of available graphic display depends on the save_model_display configuration option setting:
