HighDesign provides several ways of saving a file:
- Save
- Save As
- Save Special
Save #
The Save command lets you save on disk the current project; if the project does not have a name, a standard save dialog is shown on the screen.
Save As #
Performs the same function as Save, but forces the display of the standard Save dialog that allows you to define a location for the file and enter a file name.
Important: If the current project was already saved or if it was opened from an existing file, Save As creates a copy of the project file and replaces it as the current file. Any subsequent changes and save commands will update the file created by the Save As command.
Save Special #
The Save Special menu includes the following commands:
- Selection as new document
Saves the currently selected objects as a new document. It is only enabled when there are selected items in the current project. - Sheet as new document
Saves the currently active sheet as new document. Only available in HighDesign editions that include drawing sheets. - Visible Sheets
Saves all visible drawing sheets as a new document that preserves the sheet structure of the current document. Only available in HighDesign editions that include drawing sheets. - Previous HighDesign Project Version
Lets you save the current project in a format compatible with a previous version of HighDesign. - Template
In HighDesign editions that support Templates, this command stores a copy of the current document as a custom project template. Templates save every setting and drawing item of the project in the current state.
HINT: When you enter a file or template name in the Save As dialog, you can add a prefix enclosed by square brackets, such as [A01]. The prefix will be read as a badge over the project preview in the Home Window.
