2. Click the All tab.
3. Right-click the combined view to edit and select Redefine from the shortcut menu, or click Edit > Redefine in the View Manager. The <combined view name> dialog box opens.
4. Redefine one or more of the following display settings:

Most Recently Used—Continuous to display the recently used states.
No Cross Section—Does not apply a cross section for the state.
Visible cross sections—Opens the Select Xsec dialog box. Double-click a listed cross section to preview.
Exclude clipped components—Excludes components that are clipped by a 3D cross section (zone).
Explode—Select Show exploded to open the combined view in the selected exploded state.
Appearance—Select an appearance state from the list to redefine the combined state appearance.
Layers—Select a layer state from the list to store the current top-level assembly layer status or select Most Recently Used Layer State. The layer status of lower-level components is not stored. However, the top-level assembly layer status is propagated to layers of the same name in the submodel.
* 
Set the model to its current combined state before defining the layer state to make sure you do not unintentionally overwrite the layer status.
