Save as

When you open a file, the computer loads a copy of the file into memory where you then can manipulate it using the software tools.

 

If you use the "Save" command, then the file in memory will be copied back to the file on disk, overwriting the original file's contents.

 

If you instead use a "Save As" command, then a new file on disk will be created from the file in memory.  Normally, when you use the "Save As" command, you will be prompted for a new file name under which to save it.  If you use the same file name as the original file, the software should prompt you that the file already exists and asks you if you want to save it anyway.  If you say yes, then the original file will be overwritten.  If you say no, then you will need to enter a new file name to save to.

 

Using the "Save As" command is a common method for creating different versions of a design.

It's also a good way to do "As Built" (Existing), "Demolition" , and  "Proposed Plans"  (or play with different Ideas)  as you go through the different Stages as you Draw,

As HD only allows 1 Layout/Print Page per plan
