The master part  is a part whose specifications, like CAD models and drawings, apply to the entire series.Reference parts are associated with a master part and reference its specifications. Users who have the role of

Part Family Coordinator can assign master parts and add reference parts to them

Viewing Part Series Users who have the role of Part Family Coordinator can view and manage part series from the Master page. The

page contains filters so you can limit the number of part family members shown. By default, all master partsare shown, and reference parts are shown only when the master part is expanded. Unassigned part familymembers appear at the bottom of the list.
