Read Only/Partial Open/Partial Load

I have recently started using AutoCAD on a different computer, and am dismayed to find out it was not like my old set-up! This configuration does not allow me to open a drawing with a choice of read-only, partial open or partial load.

I have vague recall of configuring for these features long ago . . . there were several variables that had to be set in order for these items to be added to the "Open" pull-down. Can anyone help me?

Thank you

First Question in order for us to help you in depth. Which version of Autocad? Second. If you did not save any .pgp/.mnu/.cui, etc. files you will not get your Autocad the same way that you had it on the last computer. If you could give us more of a description of the problem, we would be able to further help you.

The option should be available to you in all version after AutoCAD 2000....
