AutoCAD 2000 Tutorial

Using Partial Open and Partial Load to Work with Large Drawing Files
Introduction

PART 1

INTRODUCTION
Every AutoCAD user has, at one time or another, been frustrated by the wait required to load a large drawing file. This wait is particularly irritating if the change you are planning to make only affects a small portion of the drawing.

In this lesson you master the skills required to open only a portion of a large drawing file. You also learn how to load additional geometry and when you need it.

Topics covered in this project include:

  • Using OPEN to open part of a drawing file.
  • Using PARTIALOAD to add additional geometry and when it's required.
  • How to create and maintain drawings that make effective use of these features.

    By the time you complete this project, you should find working with large drawing files substantially easier.
