Load rules
A load rule allows you to specify the versions of models and assemblies to load into Creo Elements/Direct Modeling.
The following load rules are shipped with Creo Elements/Direct Model Manager:
• As Stored - selects the configuration of the model as it was saved into the Creo Elements/Direct Manager Server database.
• Highest Revisions - selects the highest revision of every object within the model.
• Highest Released Revisions - selects the highest revision that has been released of every object within the model.
• As Loaded - selects the revision of every object that was loaded into Creo Elements/Direct Modeling. This load rule is only available for the Structure Compare.

Load rules may be added by customizing the Creo Elements/Direct Model Manager code. For example, some organizations add a load rule to select the highest revisions of objects in the Work state. See the Customization Guide for information on creating custom load rules.
