#### Modify the Assembly Load Method

Before importing your Unigraphics file you will need to select the Assembly Load Method. This method will be used when searching for assembly component file when loading an assembly. To select a method:

1. Select Edit | Graphics Display Window | DCI | Unigraphics to open the Unigraphics DCI Load Options dialog box.

Unigraphics DCI Load Options dialog box

2. Select one of the following options:

- Load from Directory - Unigraphics looks for the assembly component files in the same directory containing the assembly.

- Load from Search Directories - Unigraphics looks for a load_options.def file. This file contains a list of ordered directories from which Unigraphics will search to find the assembly component files.

- Load as Saved - Unigraphics used the full path, as saved in the assembly, to load the component files.

3. Clicking Restore Default will set the method to the default value from the registry as set from the UGLoadOption of the Option section of the Settings Editor application. See the "UGLoadOption" topic.

4. Click OK to set the selected Assembly Load Method and close the dialog box or click Cancel to close the dialog box without applying any changes.
