Annotation-Need Save As Command

[Dave Shoff]

After initially saving a drawing in Annotation, it would be nice on all subsequent saves if the current file name defaulted (like Save As does in ME10) instead of forcing the operator to select the file from the browser each time. I don't understand why Annotation does not have this as ME10 and all other softwares I have used such as Pro/E, SolidWorks, and Windows based applications such as Excel have it.

It isn't that difficut, especially late in the day when fatigue sets in, to accidentally select a file with a similar name or number and overwrite your current file. :confused:

Well, "Annotation save drawing" is the only place in OSD where you do not have to select the object to be saved because there's only one: the drawing. Therefore it would be nice to catch the drawing FILE name from 'somewhere'. Yes I'm missing this, too.

The filename itself displayed in the Annotation title bar (with an asterisk when drawing is modified) would be great, too.


Do you know the "AutoSave" functionality? see Edit/Setting/System Settings/AutoSave

If Annotation is active bundle files are saved, so your drawing is saved too. In addition you can create a toolbar icon which invokes the auto save directly. May be it helps a little.

In general it would be nice when the File browser would offer a 'last names used' selection. But I'm missing THIS in every WIN application. That's not OSD specific IMHO.
