SAVE DRAWING AS

Purpose:

To save the current drawing with a new unique name in the Drawing data bank.

Instructions:

1. In the File menu, click Save Drawing AS.

2. In the object browser dialog that now appears, you can select a new name. Note that no drawing with this name must already exist in the data bank. It is possible to browse the contents of the Drawing data bank by keying in a wild card name.

Options:

The user can save the drawing as a new drawing type in the Type field prior to clicking the Save button.

The user can (optionally) select to place the drawing in a new registry in the Registry field by selecting it in Draft Explorer and clicking CE. If the field is left blank, the drawing will be placed automatically, that means, according to project setup that defines the drawing location based on the drawing type. If the environment variable SBD_OWNING_REGI is set to MANUAL, then this option is allowed, if set to AUTO, the option will be greyed out.

The Save as link button will allow you to add a reference to the current drawing in the link documents hierarchy.

If the variable SBB_SAVE_PREVIEW is set to "YES", a preview of the drawing will be saved.

Result:

The current drawing is renamed and saved with the selected drawing type. All changes to the original drawing will be discarded.
