      <p class="para_topic">In NX, you can have different loading options that control how the translator loads the data in your .prt files. These options are stored in a settings file called load_options.def. If you have the load_options.def in your directory with your .prt files, this settings file is used to initialize NX, and most of the options are used by the translator as well.</p>
      <p class="para_topic">However, the translator does override the following options in the file:</p>
      <ul>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item"><b class="uiTerm">Load Components</b>: The translator always sets this option to <b class="uiTerm">All Components</b>.
            </p>
         </li>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item"><b class="uiTerm">Use Partial Loading</b>: At the beginning of the translation, the .prt file is partially loaded into NX to decrease the initial loading time. As the translator traverses the NX assembly to build the hierarchy, each component file is fully loaded. 
            </p>
            <table border="0">
               <tr>
                  <td valign="top" align="left"><img align="left" src="../graphics/note.gif" alt="Note" title="Note"></td>
                  <td valign="bottom" align="left" width="100%">

                     </div>
                  </td>
               </tr>
            </table>
         </li>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item"><b class="uiTerm">Abort Load On Failure</b>: The translator always switches off this option. If any component .prt files cannot be found or could not be loaded, the translator reports these errors to the shell window from which you started the translator.
            </p>
         </li>
      </ul>
      <p class="para_topic">All other load options are used as they are saved in the load_options.default file.</p>
      <p class="para_topic">If you have stored .prt files in subdirectories instead of in a single large directory, you need to use either the <b class="uiTerm">As Saved</b> or the <b class="uiTerm">Search Directories</b> options to search for the component .prt files.
