A Note on Inventor Views and Level of Detail
Quick Links
View
Saved state of part visibility. Use view reps to create views for drawings.
Level of Detail
Saved state of component suppression Suppressed parts don’t load into memory when you have that LoD open Almost required when working with massive assemblies due to performance/stability reasons
For Drawing Views
Always use view reps to create partial views of an assembly for use in drawings. This is because Level of Detail views will automatically include any extra components you introduce into that assembly. View reps do not!: Parts added after the view was last saved will not appear in the assembly for that view rep.
