Access Methods

Shortcut Menu: right-click on the File tab for the drawing you want to save.

Summary

The Save Drawing As standard file selection dialog box is displayed. Enter a file name and type. Saving a drawing to any DXF format affects performance.

See About Saving Drawings to Previous Drawing File Formats for a description of the limitations that result from saving to an earlier version.

The file is saved with the specified file name. If the drawing is already named, the drawing is saved with the new file name. If you save the file as a drawing template, the template options are displayed, where you can set the units of measurement and provide a description for the template.

When FILEDIA is set to 0 (zero), SAVEAS displays command prompts.
