(OP)
I'm learning UG Nx 10 i wanted to know about master model concept.. Use of layers and reference sets and difference between them

RE: Unigraphics Nx10

Master Model Strategies Defined

Master Model Strategy is an important concept in the design industry. The following are a few advantages of applying the Master Model Strategy concept to everyday design.

Advantages of Master Model Strategy

Drawings/Spec files are separate files from
models/part files.
Instead of creating the drawing/spec in the part file itself, creates a non-master Spec in Teamcenter Or Folder that references the UG-Master.

2. Promotes concurrent engineering by enable a user top modify the drawing/spec without locking the UG-Master part file.
Drafting and modeling changes can happen in parallel

3. Separates annotation data from the UG-Master
A user can load the master assembly without needing to load the drawing/spec data into the session, improving load times and reducing memory usage.

Reference sets are used to capture what you really want the model to show at another level. Assemblies and Drawings ect.

Layers can be used with sketches keeping them on other layers as the user develops design intent of the final part. Final part if you choose will be on layer one.

Layers also can be used for drafting for Visible in view.
