Referenced Iteration	Use this option to retrieve all the objects that are connected to the selected file at the time of check in. This option shows the physically connected structure.

Check in and modification by all users results in As-Built view.
Referenced Iteration when performing on an older Iteration	If the Get operation is initiated from an older iteration of a parent design and you apply "Referenced Iteration" view then, the retrieved structure displays the iteration of child designs that are connected to this iteration of parent design at the time of check-in resulting in As-Saved view.
Latest Iteration	Provides the latest revision and iteration to all children objects in the dialog. This option considers the latest of everything outside the selected assembly's revision stream.

If no released revision is found for a particular node, the system displays the node retrieved by applying the referenced iteration view to the parent node.
