2 In the Partial Load dialog box, select a view or choose Pick Window to
define a view.
The default view is Extents. You can load only geometry from model space
views that are saved in the current drawing.
3 Select one or more layers.
If you do not select a layer or layers to load, no layer geometry is loaded
into the drawing, but all drawing layers exist in the drawing. If no layer
geometry is specified to load into the drawing, no geometry is loaded even
if the geometry from a view is specified to load. If you draw objects on a
layer that is not loaded, you may be drawing on top of existing geometry
that is not loaded in the drawing. You cannot unload any geometry that
is loaded in the current drawing.

Add Identifying Information to Drawings
You can track your drawings more easily by assigning properties to them in
the Drawing Properties dialog box. Drawing properties are details that help
you identify the drawing, including title, author, subject, keywords that
identify the model, or other important information. You can store hyperlink
addresses or directory paths and ten custom properties with your drawings.
The Drawing Properties dialog box contains the following drawing
information.
■ General tab. Displays the drawing type, location, size, and other informa-
tion. The information is derived from the operating system. All fields are
read-only. However, you can access and change these file properties
through Windows Explorer.
■ Summary tab. Specifies properties such as author, title, and subject.
■ Statistics tab. Displays data such as file size and the dates files were
created and last modified. You can search for all files created at a certain
time, for example, after March 3, 1998, or for files you modified yesterday.
■ Custom tab. Specifies custom file properties, including any value you
assign.
