In ArcGIS desktop, this term refers to the editing tools providing visual feedback of the desired end result of an editing operation while the process is still underway. For Cartographic Representations, this is the ability to see a symbolized version of the feature being operated on instead of a wireframe version of the underlying geometry of the feature.
