Change Load Type
The Change Load Type action is available within a Creo Elements/Direct Modeling session as well as from the Tools menu in Windchill.
Change Load Type enables you to change the default load type of the model when it is loaded from Windchill to Creo Elements/Direct Modeling. Four load types are available: Partial, Structure, Lightweight, and Full.
