To Save an Image to a Different File Name, File Type, or Location

  1. Click Raster menu Save As.
  2. Select the image to save. You can save only one image at a time using this command.

    The Save As dialog box is displayed.

    Note: You can also select the image first, and then right-click to display the shortcut menu where you can select ImageWriteSave As.
  3. You can enter a different file name in the File Name box.
  4. There are two methods you can use to navigate to a new location to which to save the image:
    • Choose the drive and folder using standard Windows navigation procedures.
    • Choose a location from the Places List on the left side of the dialog box to navigate directly to the My Documents folder (or the Personal folder, depending on which operating system you are using), the Desktop, or the Favorites folder.
  5. You can save the image to a different file type by selecting a file type from the Save File as Type list.
    Note: AutoCAD works best with certain image types. To optimize performance, export or save your images as tiled, compressed TIFFs whenever possible.
  6. Click OK when you are ready to save the image.

    For certain file formats, such as TIFF, you are prompted for the encoding and data organization methods you want to use. For more information, see Encoding and Data Organization Methods

    Note: If you have saved using the save as command, multiple copies of the image now exist, but all copies point to the new filename. For more information, see Save As Dialog Box.
