Saving an Assembly and Its Components
When you save an assembly, the path and name of each referenced component is saved in the assembly document.
There are several ways to save an assembly document.
| Save | Saves the assembly document, and any referenced component documents that changed. |
| Save As | Saves a copy of the assembly document with a new name or path. After you save, you work in the new assembly document. The original assembly document closes without saving. |
| Save as copy and continue in the Save As dialog box. | Saves a copy of the assembly document, with a new name or path, without replacing the active document. You continue to work in the original assembly document. |
| Save as copy and open in the Save As dialog box. | Saves a copy of the assembly document, with a new name or path, replacing the active document with the copy. The original assembly document remains open. |
| Save an assembly as a part | Saves the assembly as a part. See Save Assembly as Part PropertyManager |
