To Save a Copy of a File
1. Click File > Save As > Save a Copy. The Save a Copy dialog box opens. The directory in the Look In box defaults to one of the following:
My Documents (Windows platforms only) if you have not set a working directory or previously saved an object to another directory in your current Creo Parametric session.
The Working Directory you set for your current session.
The directory you last accessed to open, save, save a copy, or back up your file.
2. Accept the default directory or browse to a new directory.
 
* You can access the working directory by clicking .
3. In the Model Name box, the name of the active model appears. To select a different model click .
4. In the New Name box, type the new file name.
 
* An error message appears if you type the name of a model currently in session.
5. Click OK to save to the directory displayed in the Look In box or select a sub-directory and then click OK. The Creo Parametric graphics area is displayed.
 
To save a file to a different disk or directory using the same file name, use File > Backup.
If you do not want your file to save to the last accessed directory, set the configuration option file_open_default_folder. Use this configuration option to specify the directory from which you want to open, save, save a copy, or backup files.
