SAVEAS (Command)

Saves a copy of the current drawing under a new file name or location.

Find

The new file name becomes the current drawing and the previous drawing closes without saving any changes to it.

Note: In AutoCAD, if you want to create a copy of the current drawing under a different name or location without changing the current drawing, use the SAVE command. In AutoCAD LT, the SAVE and QSAVE commands are identical.

The Save Drawing As standard file selection dialog box is displayed.

In the Save Drawing As dialog box, click Tools:

• Options displays a dialog box that controls various DWG and DXF settings.
• Digital Signatures displays a dialog box that lets you attach a digital signature, which ensures that the drawing has not been changed after it was signed.

If you choose to save a file as a drawing template, the Template Options dialog box is displayed, where you can provide a description for the template and set the units of measurement.

When FILEDIA is set to 0 (zero), SAVEAS displays command prompts rather than the dialog box.

Note: Saving a drawing to any DXF ^™ format affects performance.
