Save As
The following table describes the preferences for the Save As category that are not included in a Save As subcategory:
Preferences
Values
Description
Allow Replace
Yes
No (default)
Controls the availability of the "Replace" button in the Save As UI. The "Replace" button allows a user to perform a global replace of one object in the structure with a different object in the commonspace. The default is "No" (replacement is not allowed), and it is strongly recommended to use the default setting. Replace is only possible for Creo Parametric CAD documents, and this control is not the same as replacing the component in Creo Parametric. It does not guarantee retrieval of the assembly with the replaced component.
Inherit FileName from Name
Yes
No (default)
Controls how the file name is assigned by default for a new CAD document using the Save As command in the workspace and commonspace. When set to "Yes", the new file name is set to the same value as the new CAD document name plus an appropriate extension. When set to "No" (default), preferences for CAD Document Filename Prefix and CAD Document Filename Suffix is applied to the original file name to produce a new name.
Inherit FileName from Number
Yes
No (default)
Controls how the file name is assigned by default for a new CAD document using the Save As command in the workspace and commonspace. Possible values are "Yes" or "No" (default) . When set to "Yes", the new filename is set to the same as value as the new CAD document number plus an appropriate extension. When set to "No", the new filename is set based on changing the original filename using the CAD Document Filename Prefix and CAD Document Filename Suffix preferences.
Save Selected Objects Only
Yes
No (default)
If set to "Yes," only selected objects are marked for Save As and dependent objects are marked for reuse. The default setting is "No." By default selected and dependent objects are all eligible for Save As.
