This File menu command names and saves the active document in a location that you specify.

When you choose Save As, a dialog box like the one above appears.

1. | Navigate your folders to locate the folder in which you want to save your document, or create a new folder, if needed.

2. | Type a name for the document.

3. | Click Save.

| Save Different Copies of a Document

Use Save As to save an additional copy of a previously saved document, with or without changes. For example, suppose you have a document called Pythag.gsp to which you want to add action buttons,and you also want to keep a copy of the original version. Make sure you’ve saved the sketch in the original form, and then make the changes and choose Save As. Enter a different name for the modified version, such as Pythag2.gsp. Now you’ll have both versions saved as separate documents.

Your document is normally saved as an ordinary Sketchpad document. This format saves your entire document, and the document can be reopened only by Sketchpad Version 5 and later.

In addition, there are several other formats in which you can save documents.

| Save as Enhanced Metafile (Windows only)

Use Save As to save a graphics file that can be used by many other Windows programs. The graphics file includes all objects visible in the sketch window. Choose Enhanced Metafile from the Save as type list before you click the Save button.
