To load additional geometry into a partially open drawing
1 Click File menu Partial Load.
NOTE The Partial Load option is available only if the current drawing is a
partially open drawing.
2 In the Partial Load dialog box, select a view, or click 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.
4 Click Open.
