About Using Simplified Representations with Large Design Assemblies
Simplified representations can increase your ability to work effectively with large design assemblies. They improve visual clarity and performance. They are used to simplify the process model by excluding or substituting components for all steps or to simplify only the current state (that is, step). Simplified representations of the design model can also be used when creating process steps in the manufacturing process.

When dealing with simplified representations on models, be sure that references you have removed do not affect downstream applications. For example, if you place a machine coordinate system on a fixture, and then use a simplified representation to remove the fixture for display purposes, it is possible toolpaths will not compute as their references no longer exist.
