      <div class="title_division">Load Options</div>
      <p class="para_division">The <b class="uiTerm">Load Options</b> menu allows you to control loading of assembly component data. These options are very beneficial to the translation user because files once ready for translation may not reflect the original directory structure. Parts that move from one directory to another may require specification of components directories.
      </p>
      <p class="para_division">The default for the load options is to <b class="uiTerm">Use the load_options.def file</b> that is contained in the directory that the NX session started in. If this file does not exist in the start up directory the default NX load options are used.
      </p>

      <p class="para_division">Turning the <b class="uiTerm">Use the load_options.def file</b> to off will make the translation load options sensitive and allows you to modify the load options for your particular translation needs.
      </p>
      <div class="title_division">Abort On Load Failure</div>
      <p class="para_division">When this option is turned off, the assembly file will continue to load even if it cannot locate component files. This option provides a method to send only the required components needed for the job rather than all components associated with the assembly part. When turned on, if any component is not loaded, translation will stop and no output file will be created.</p>
      <div class="title_division">Allow Substitution</div>
      <p class="para_division">With every NX component part there exists the name of the part and a unique user identification number (UID) to represent the part. If an existing component is deleted, then recreated, it can have the same name but will not have the same UID. This will cause part load to fail unless the <b class="uiTerm">Allow Component Substitution</b> switch turns on.
      </p>
      <div class="title_division">Load Component Options</div>
      <p class="para_division">NX provides the option to define a version scheme for components used to process newer versions of a component without modifying the name in the main assembly. Components other than the exact name provided in the assembly part can be loaded to represent newer releases of the component.</p>
      <p class="para_division">When you select <b class="uiTerm">EXACT</b> the exact component file names specified in the assembly part will be loaded. When <b class="uiTerm">LATEST</b> is selected the latest version of the components found in the given directory structure defined in the <b class="uiTerm">Load Component Method</b> option will be loaded. If you select <b class="uiTerm">DO NOT LOAD</b>, component files will not be loaded.
      </p>
      <p class="para_division">When using the <b class="uiTerm">Load Component Method</b> you have three choices as to how to load an Assembly part's components: LOAD FROM ASSEMbly DIR, load from SEARCH DIR. or LOAD AS SAVED.
      </p>
      <p class="para_division">The <b class="uiTerm">LOAD FROM ASSEMbly DIRectory</b> option loads a component from the same directory the assembly part resides in. When using this option the assembly and its components must be located in the same directory. The <b class="uiTerm">SEARCH DIRECTORIES</b> option allows you to specify the directories to search for components. The <b class="uiTerm">LOAD AS SAVED</b> option loads components from the directory in which they were originally saved.
