Simp Rep tab. Continue from step 2.
2. Right-click Default Envelope Rep and do one of the following:

◦ When more than one envelope that meets the criteria for a the default envelope exists in the assembly, the Select Envelope dialog box opens. Select an envelope from the list and click OK or click New and proceed to step 3.
| When only one envelope meets the criteria for a default envelope in the assembly it is the default envelope representation as well. To set it as active, double click Default Envelope Rep or right-click and choose Set Active from the shortcut menu. |
3. Accept the default envelope and part names or type new ones and click OK. The Creation Options dialog box opens.

| To add new envelope parts as simplified representations, right-click the default envelope representation and choose Redefine from the shortcut menu. When there are multiple envelopes that meet the criteria for a the default envelope, you can redefine the current representation and select a different envelope from the Select Envelope dialog box. |
