- Description
- This command saves a file together with its placed objects and the associated
- system files. This is used for archival purposes as all the files that have
- been updated for the project can be saved, e.g., walls.arc, trules.arc.
-
- Enter the name and path for the file to be saved. Enter the path of the file
- to save to. Specify whether to save the files from the current directory
- only, from the current and \arcalib directories, or from the current and
- \arcalib directories including the system files.
-
- Specify if you want to overwrite all the files, none of the files, or to
- confirm each file before overwriting, if the files already exist in the
- specified path.
-
- All files that resided in your current directory will be copied to a directory
- of the same name. All files that resided in the \ARCALIB or \ARCA directories
- will be copied to directories of those names. These directories will be
- created automatically by the system if they do not already exist.
-
- It is recommended that you save to an empty directory or diskette. The system
- will automatically create the directory if it does not exist.
-
- If there is not enough room on the disk/ette a message will appear.
-
- This command can be used externally, i.e., executed from the DOS prompt.
- To do this, type:
-
- \path\fsave \path\filename drive
- and press <ENTER>
- where: \path\fsave is the path to the fsave.ovl file; the path is
- usually \ARCAOVL
- \path\filename is the path and name for the drawing files to be
- saved
- drive is the drive in which the file will be saved
