This tag controls whether Creo Elements/Direct Model Manager loads a part in Creo Elements/Direct Modeling as a version or a shared part.

Click Options in the Model Manager Load dialog to display a list of options. The Load as Part/Assembly version option reflects the current Creo Elements/Direct Modeling setting (set in Creo Elements/Direct Modeling's Load dialog). If you change the setting of Load as Part/Assembly version, the load follows the rule selected for this session. This setting is not kept when you end your Creo Elements/Direct Modeling session; the next time you start Creo Elements/Direct Model Manager, the load option again reflects the Creo Elements/Direct Modeling setting.

When true, Creo Elements/Direct Model Manager sets and protects the Load as Part/Assembly version option, regardless of Creo Elements/Direct Modeling's settings. Parts will be loaded as versions rather than shared parts.
