Reresentation (Views and Level of Details)

Reresentation (Views and Level of Details)

Reresentation (Views and Level of Details)

(OP)
Hi

I am using Inventor Prof 2008, i am building an assembly and want to use Level of Detail and Views for Reduce computation load and save views for drawings.
I am confused that are level of detail and views related or separate things. Can anybody explain there use in easy words ?
   

RE: Reresentation (Views and Level of Details)

level of detail was set up as a memory saving tool only. In that you can supress parts to reduce memory footprint to allow easier loading/working,etc..

View reps are for showing parts in different states or remembering visability of componts for drawings/parts list filtering,etc...

So basically level of detail is ONLY to allow you to work on assemblies faster by supressing components you don't need to see.. View reps are for everything else.
