Load Part

What

Loads an external .dwg file as a part into the current drawing. The created part will be a child of the current part.

Why

This command allows you to assemble multiple saved drawings into a single sheet and speeds up the creation of the parts tree by allowing the user to define libraries of frequently used drawings.

How

The user is presented with a file selection window. The user can select a drawing file and confirm. The user will then be asked to select the insertion point in the graphics area.

A preview of the geometries that will be inserted is shown to make insertion easier.

Note

  • If the FILEDIA variable is set to 0, the request for the drawing file to be loaded occurs through the command line.
  • Loading parts is sensitive to the AutoSNAP Parts mechanism
  • From the options dialog you can filter the geometries to load into the drawing:
    In particular, you can avoid loading certain blocks or sub-parts, enlargements, balloons, dimensions and texts.
