Saving a File

The Save command saves the open file, which replaces the earlier version of the file. When you save a file for the first time, specify the file name and location. The Save command is disabled if no changes have been made to the file since it was first opened or created.

On Windows, the files require a “.vwx” or “.mcd” extension to be recognized by VectorWorks. If you do not enter an extension, VectorWorks adds the .vwx extension automatically.

To save the current file:

1.	Select File > Save.

If the file has not been saved before, the Save VectorWorks Drawing dialog box opens.

2.	Enter a name for the file in the Name field, and then select the destination for the file.

3.	Click Save.

VectorWorks saves the file. The time required may depend on the file size.
