Save As command

Saves a copy of selected items within a QY CAD structure to a new Item ID, revision, item name, and optionally, a new Item Type. You can use this command, for example, when you want to copy some of, but not all of, the files that comprise the assembly structure. When the documents are displayed in the Structure Editor target pane, the Item ID and Revision are blank and new values must be assigned.

You can also use the Save As command to save an item into an existing object, thereby overwriting existing properties. An overwrite can occur are when you:

• Save an item into an existing object that has no QY CAD dataset. For example, in the case where an Item ID already exists but does not contain a dataset.

• Save to an existing item, but the revision does not exist.

• Save an item where the item and revision exist, but only contain an empty BOM View Revision.

In these cases, the text in the Save As cell of the Action column is shown italicized to indicate that you are overwriting existing property information.

When you select an item for the Save As action, the action for its parent document is set to Update. This action updates the link to point to the new file if the parent is not selected for the Save As action. When you select the parent document for Save As, the link is updated and the original document is not modified.
