File saving dialog

Used to save a copy of the STAAD Foundation Advanced project file with a different name, in a different directory, or on a different disk.

Tip: If you only save the project file with a different name, then the copy becomes the active design file.

Opens when Save As… is selected from the Application menu.

Tip: Refer to the documentation for your version of Windows for other common dialog controls.
SettingDescription

Different systems allow different numbers of characters in filenames. Some systems are case-sensitive (they differentiate between upper and lower case), others are not. If portability between different systems is a concern, filenames with a maximum of eight characters all in the same case are recommended.
