Mona_Sh Posted 19 hours ago Share Posted 19 hours ago How to control where the file is saved in version 17? I am working in version 17. I started a new project directly from dashboard. In order to find the location that this file is saved, I tried using "save as" under File tab but it is not available. Then I tried "make a copy" under file tab. It made a copy but didn't provide the location that files are automatically saved. afterwards I checked preferences under edit tab. in there, under "General" section, under "folder" I found the address of Data folder where it saved the back up versions of my file under "Archives" folder. I copied the latest saved version into my desired location. My question is, did they eliminate the "save as" option under File tab? Is there a better way to find the location of the file and relocate it? or is there a way to designate the desired location upon creation of the file?

Mark3D Posted 18 hours ago Share Posted 18 hours ago Project management is on by default in x17 so things look different but depending on what your are doing you might want to turn it of in preference's and go back to save as option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
