Are the fields RuleID and Override protected from deletion in some way?  If I use the GP tool to remove a representation, it is no longer listed in the properties yet the corresponding fields persist in the attribute table (and I cannot delete them in ArcMap, ArcCatalog or using ET Geowizards).  Please lend some insight (for the sake of table tidiness). ...

"Representation: Unknown" appears in place of the list of representations in the TOC.  In the process of setting up or editing my maps, my various feature classes will 'lose' the representations and show the quoted text above.  The representation still exists in Properties>Symbology but will not appear in the TOC.  I can get the representations to reappear in the TOC by opening properties and adding an additional generic rule (or loading an existing rule), but when I apply the change and close the properties, the TOC reverts to "Representation: Unknown".  Likewise, when the TOC reads "Representation: Unknown", the symbols do not show at all in the data frame or layout.  In some sense it is 'musical chairs' in that I can get one feature class representation to function properly, then another one will revert to "Representation: Unknown". I have found no instances of this in the forum and hope that means that I am overlooking an obvious fix.  I have spent considerable time implementing representations and want to make full use of them. Please speak up if you have encountered this behavior, thanks. ... View more

When using a representation (with ~15 symbol rules) I get all symbols in the legend even though only a few are located in the layout extent.  Not all maps need all of the defined symbology.  How can I limit the representation sybols to those found in the layout extent?  (dynamically and without having to convert sybols to graphics...) ...
