Demand Loading

Demand Loading reduces the time required to open projects. When you open a project, erwin DM loads all the models in it, which may increase the loading time, whereas Demand Loading opens only the project metadata and leaves the models in it unloaded. You can load required models manually.

For example, if a project contains multiple large models, opening them simultaneously will require more time. If you want to open a single model in the project and work on it, you can select Demand Loading and open the project. This instantly opens the project metadata in the Project Explorer. You can then select the required model to open it.

To use Demand Loading, follow these steps:

  1. Click Tools > Options.

    2. The Options screen appears.

  2. On the Default tab, select Demand Loading.

  3. Click OK.

    4. Demand Loading is enabled. erwin DM will load only the metadata when you open a new project.
