-
The limits box co-ordinates.
-
The touch and clearance settings.
-
Whether or not the midpoint positioning option is in force.
-
Any checking options currently specified (e.g. NOCHECK, IGNORE, ACHECK/BCHECK options).
-
Any reporting options currently specified.
-
-
The clash details resulting from the most recent clash-checking run, including the relevant checking options and obstruction list for inclusion in future reports
-
The current list of approved clashes
Examples:
|

Saves setup parameters, as listed in the above description, to file /CLASH1. |
|
SAVE CLASHES /CLASH2 SAVE CLA /CLASH2 OVER |
Saves clash details, including checking options and obstruction list, to file /CLASH2. |
|
SAVE APPROVED /CLASH3 SAVE APP /CLASH3 OVER |
Saves current approval list to the file /CLASH3. |
|
SAVE ALL /CLASH4 SAVE ALL /CLASH4 OVER |
Saves setup parameters, clash details and approval list to file /CLASH4. |
Note:
While the SAVE ALL option is often convenient, bear in mind that you cannot later
restore only part of the data without affecting the rest. This could mean that when
the file is restored you will overwrite some settings that you wish to retain.
