To Create a New Drawing Representation While Opening a Drawing
You can create a new drawing representation upon retrieving a drawing. This procedure lets you go straight to the Drawing Representation Tool dialog box in the No Views drawing representation state. No drawing models are retrieved, and Delay View Command(s) Until Execute is selected by default.

Delay View Command(s) Until Execute is selected by default for creating a drawing representation upon retrieval. This is a safeguard against accidentally retrieving the models into session while defining the drawing representation.
With Delay View Command(s) Until Execute selected, you can specify several commands to configure the rep before executing any of them. Each command is added to the command list. The commands are not executed, and the system does not retrieve data, until you click Execute.
When the Delay View Command(s) Until Execute check box is cleared, each command is executed immediately.

1. Click > .
2. Select a drawing from the File Open dialog box (click just once to select the drawing, not to open it) and click Open Representation. The Open Representation dialog box opens, listing the two default drawing representations, All Views and No Views.
3. Do not select a drawing representation, but select the Create New Drawing Rep check box. The Drawing Representation Tool dialog box opens.

Selecting Create New Drawing Rep is a convenient way to access the Drawing Representation Tool dialog box without retrieving any models. The system retrieves the selected drawing, with none of its views displayed and its tables set to frozen. The models are not retrieved into session.
