Saving Queried Data
When you work within a Map project, you can save any edits that you
made to the back source drawings. The items that you choose to save
back are called a Save Set.
NOTE This topic describes the save options for only the AutoCAD Map
commands, not for the entire AutoCAD Land Development Desktop
program.
Key Concepts
■
The data that you query from source drawings is readable and
writable by default. If you edit the source drawing data while
working in the Map project, then you can save the objects back to
the source drawings.
■
If you never want to save the objects back to a save set, then select
Don’t Add Objects Automatically in the AutoCAD Map Options
dialog box.
■
If you want objects added to the save set automatically, then select
Add Objects Automatically Without Prompting in the AutoCAD
Map Options dialog box.
