Options

The following options are available:

:OVERWRITE - OneSpace Designer overwrites an existing file with the same filename, without prompting for confirmation.
:RENAME - OneSpace Designer creates new filenames as needed.
:SELECT - Specifies the objects to be saved.
:CHANGE_INSTANCE_FILE - Changes the instance filename of an object. (You must select an object after specifying this option.)
:CHANGE_CONTENTS_FILE - Changes the contents filename of an object. (You must select an object after specifying this option.)
:TOP_LEVEL_INSTANCE_FILES - Controls the writing of top-level instance files.

When to Use

Use this action to save parts, assemblies, workplanes, or workplane sets you may want to recall in the future (using LOAD_SD).

When using this action in a macro, it is recommended to save into an empty directory. OneSpace Designer saves the selected objects by assigning filenames based on the objects name.

This action saves top-level instance files. This is needed to save the names and positions of objects below the part and workplane libraries. The writing of these files can be enabled or disabled. The default is enabled and can be switched off by the toggle button. The default can be permanently changed in the environment file by calling the SD_FILING_TOP_LEVEL_INSTANCE_FILES action.

Example

The following parameter sequence saves the specified 3D data.
