About Saving Files
You can save Creo Parametric files using Save or Save a Copy commands. From the Save a Copy dialog box you can also export Creo Parametric files to different formats, and to save files as images.
Creo Parametric saves only changed objects, except in the following cases:
• An object selected for saving is not found in the destination directory.
• The configuration file option save_objects is set to all.
• The configuration file option save_objects is set to changed_and_specified and the current object is the top object in an assembly.
• A change is made to a dependent object and the configuration file option propagate_change_to_parents is set to yes.
Saving an object on the disk creates a file with the format object_name.object_type.version_number. For example, if you create a part with the name bracket, the part is saved as a file named bracket.prt.1. Saving the same part again creates an iteration of the file as bracket.prt.2.
Setting the value of the save_file_iterations configuration option to no saves the files as follows:
• A new file is saved without a version extension.
• An existing file with a version extension is saved with a version extension.
• An existing file without a version extension is saved without a version extension.
If you retrieve an object using a relative path specification (for example, ../partname) the same path specification is used to save the object in its original directory. So if you change your working directory between retrieving and storing, the object could be saved in a different directory. Be careful when you use relative path names.

Path names can contain up to 260 characters.
