I have an assembly that has multiple representations , am using Creo 8 and no windchill.

I want to save one representation as standalone assembly without referencing main assembly. Below is the workflow I have tried:

When I use above method , I get new assembly as per below image. I did not select dependent checkbox

 

My question is:

1. why does my new assembly has different icon?

2. Why does new assembly still being linked with main assembly (see below image)

I did research on this topic , an this is the findings:

Its possible to save a representation as a stand alone assembly but its still a representation rather than a real assembly hence cannot be assembled in other assembly and it still has reference connection with the original assembly. See  below image

My new assembly ASM0003 is now parent to initial assembly ASM001. I would like to understand what's going on.
