FIGURE 1.6
The Save Drawing As dialog box
Use the Tools drop-down list of the Save Drawing As dialog box to do the following:
l
Add or Modify FTP Locations. FTP sites are locations on the Internet for transferring files.
To add or modify FTP locations, choose Tools ➪ Add/Modify FTP Locations. You need to list
the name of the FTP site, choose a logon type (Anonymous or User), and specify your user
name and password if you’re logging on as a User. You can then save drawings (called
uploading) to FTP locations by clicking the Save In drop-down list and choosing FTP
Locations. This feature makes an intranet or any server with FTP capability as accessible as
your own computer system.
l
Add Current Folder to Places. If you save to a specific folder often, you can navigate to that
folder and then choose Tools ➪ Add Current Folder to Places. The Places Bar then displays a
new button for that folder so that you can easily click the button to go straight to the folder.
l
Add to Favorites. When you have navigated to a folder, you can add it to the Favorites
folder by choosing Tools ➪ Add to Favorites. You can also select a file in a folder and add it
to the
Favorites folder.
l
Options. The Options dialog box opens, where you can specify certain settings relating to
saving drawings. I discuss these options in Chapter 8 and Appendix A.
l
Security Options. Choose this setting to set a password or attach a digital signature. I dis-
cuss these features in Chapter 26.
AutoCAD Only
The SAVEALL command of the Express Tools saves all open drawings, without closing them. Type saveall ↵ on the
command line. If a drawing hasn’t been saved, you are prompted for a filename. For information on installing
Express Tools, see Appendix A.
