Additional features and tools are available when you edit an assembly in
Large Design Review mode.
In the FeatureManager design tree, you can view the following features
for top-level assemblies and components:

Reference Geometry
When you edit an assembly in Large Design Review mode, reference
geometry loads only for one:
- The top-level assembly and the immediate child
components.
- Mates in lower-level child components where a top-level
assembly mate references the reference geometry in the child component.
To load reference geometry for lower-level child components,
right-click the component and click Load Reference
Geometry. After you load the reference geometry, Load Reference Geometry is no longer available for
the component.
For example, you mate the right plane for a child component in a
subassembly to the right plane in the top-level assembly. For the child component,
only the reference geometry for the right plane loads the next time you open the
assembly for editing in Large Design Review mode.
For lower-level child components mated to the origin in the
top-level assembly, reference geometry loads for the origin and the front plane.
