Saving documents

 

Separate transactions exist for saving the contents of a window, a complete document, a page, and a layer.

To save the contents of a document window:

· Use the Save transaction.

The document is resaved. You cannot specify a file format with this transaction. Any new layers or pages are not included.

To save a complete document:

· Use the SaveDocument transaction.

The document is saved under the current or specified multipage file format--Spicer Document (.smf) or Spicer Multipage (.das). Use this to save a multipage.

To save a page:

· Use the SavePage transaction.

The page is saved under the current or specified page file format--Spicer Document or Spicer Multilayer Page (.clf). Use this to save a single page with two or more layers.

To save a layer:

· Use the SaveLayer transaction.

The layer is saved under the current or specified layer file format. Use this to save a single layer in a window.

For each of these transactions you can optionally specify a new file name and label or prompt the user about whether to overwrite an already existing file.

You can also save selected objects as a symbol for future use. To do so, use the SaveSymbol transaction.
