Enabling or disabling auto-saving
Ensure the Preferences window is displayed (see above). Then:
- Use the File Auto-Save check box to enable or disable the automatic saving of drawings when you move to another drawing in the Browser window.
- When this box is checked, if you have edited a drawing and select another drawing from the Browser window, the changes made to the previous drawing are automatically saved.
- When this box is unchecked, you must ensure that you make regular saves of your work.
We recommend that you don't turn this option off.
Setting your preferred window layout
Ensure the Preferences window is displayed (see above). Then:
- Layout the windows as you would prefer them to be shown.
