Clicking the plus button appends a sequence number to the file name
you entered, or increments the sequence number if the name already has one,
and then saves the file to that name.
For example, if you have highlighted a file named test00.max, clicking the
plus button changes the name to test01.max and then saves test01.max.
Save Copy As
File menu > Save Copy As
Save Copy As allows you to save a copy of the current scene under a different
file name. It does not change the name of the file being worked on.
IMPORTANT Save Copy As does not update the original file name as Save does,
and Save does not update the file you last saved using Saved Copy As. For example,
if you make edits to a 3ds Max scene named filename.max , then use Save Copy
As with the file name filename01.max , make additional edits, and then click
Save, your second set of edits will be saved as filename.max but not as
filename01.max .
