Saving Objects to a New Drawing
When you save objects to a new drawing, you create a copy of the current
drawing, including objects, options, queries, and attached drawings. If you
queried objects from attached drawings, the original objects are unchanged
in the attached drawings.
NOTE This functionality is for drawing objects only. To save geospatial feature
edits to a new data store, see
Migrating GIS Data (Bulk Copy) (page 617).

NOTE This procedure is for drawing objects only. To save geospatial feature edits
to a new data store, see
Migrating GIS Data (Bulk Copy) (page 621).
To save objects to a new drawing
1 Run a query to retrieve the objects. Use Draw mode to copy the retrieved
objects to the current drawing.
2 Click
Save As AutoCAD Drawing.
3 Enter a name for the new drawing.
4 If prompted to save objects to attached source drawings, do not do so at
this time, since this removes them from the current drawing.
To save the objects to both a new drawing and to attached drawings, first clear
Erase Saved Back Objects on the
Save Back tab (page 764) of the AutoCAD Map
Options dialog box
(page 1908).
