This command allows you to save an unnamed drawing with a file name or renames the current drawing.
Carlson TakeOff displays the Save Drawing As standard file selection dialog box. Enter a file name and type. You can select any of the following file types:
● Carlson Software 2002/AutoCAD 2000 (*.dwg)
● AutoCAD R14/LT 98/LT 97 Drawing (*.dwg)
● AutoCAD R13/LT 95 Drawing (*.dwg)
● Drawing Template File (*.dwt)
● Carlson Software 2002 DXF (*.dxf)
● AutoCAD R14/LT 98/LT 97 DXF (*.dxf)
● AutoCAD R13/LT 95 DXF (*.dxf)
● AutoCAD R12/LT2 DXF (*.dxf)
Carlson TakeOff saves the file under the specified file name. If the drawing is already named, the program saves the drawing to the new file name. If you save the file as a drawing template, the program displays the Template Description dialog box, where you can provide a description for the template and set the units of measurement.
Saving a drawing in Release 14/LT 98/LT 97 format is subject to the following limitations:
● Hyperlinks are converted to Release 14 attached URLs.
● Database links and freestanding labels are converted to Release 14 links and displayable attributes.
● Database attached labels are converted to MText and leader objects, and their link information is not available. Attached labels are restored if you open the drawing in AutoCAD 2000 or later.
● Lineweight information is not available. Lineweights are restored if you open the drawing in AutoCAD 2000 or later.
Saving a drawing in Release 13/LT 95 format is subject to the following limitations:
● Lightweight polyline and hatch patterns are converted to R13 polylines and hatch patterns.
● Raster objects are displayed as bounding boxes. Raster objects are restored if the drawing is opened in AutoCAD 2000 or later.
● Draw order information is not applied for display or print.
● Xrefs that have been clipped with a boundary box are displayed in full as attached xrefs because Release 13 does not support xref clipping. Clipping is restored if the drawing is opened in AutoCAD 2000 or later.
Saving a drawing in Release 12/LT 2 DXF format is subject to the following limitations:
● Lightweight polylines and hatch patterns are converted to R12 polylines and hatch patterns.
● All solids, bodies, regions, ellipses, leaders, multilines, rays, tolerances, and xlines are converted to lines, arcs, and circles as appropriate.
● Groups, complex linetypes, OLE objects, and preview images are not displayed.
● Many objects are lost if you save a drawing as Release 12 and open it later in AutoCAD 2000 or later.
