that are stored on the disk.

the current directory. If the drawing file is untitled, OPUS I
asks you to name the drawing file. You can save a drawing file
to a different disk or directory by preceding the name with a
disk drive or directory name. For example, A:\OPUS\FILENAME.

without changing the original drawing file. If all records are
selected, the Save Records As command makes a copy of the current
drawing file. Using the Save Records As with the original
filename is a way of compacting a drawing file. Records marked
for deletion are removed and the drawing file is saved in a
more efficient way. Be sure to choose the Show All Records
command before saving records with the same filename.
[173] Save Report As (p.237)
If you are designing a report, the Save Records As command
changes to Save Report As. The Save Report As command lets you
save a report format separately from the one you are working

format but don't want to erase the original report format from
the disk.
[174] Go To (p.249)
The Go To command closes the current drawing file and opens
another drawing file. The name of the new drawing file is
determined by the contents of the "Go To" field of the current
record. The Go To command can be used to connect objects in
one drawing file to drawings in other drawing files. When you
select an object, the record assigned to that object becomes
the current record. If the "Go To" field of the current record
contains a filename, choosing the Go To command closes the
current drawing file and opens the new drawing file.
[175] Return To (p.249)
Use the Return To command to return to the original drawing file
after using the Go To command. OPUS I remembers up to four
drawing files so you can return to the drawing files from four
previous "Go To's."
[176] Import Data (p.152)
The Import Data command transfers information from other
programs into an OPUS I drawing file. The information must be
in delimited format, and the fields in your drawing file must
match the information you are importing. When you choose the
Import Data command, OPUS I asks for the name of the file
containing the information you are importing.
[177] Export Data (p.155)

to a special file on the disk. The new file can be read by many
popular programs that cannot directly use information in an
OPUS I drawing file.
[178] Set Lock (p.94)
The Set Lock command lets you prevent changes to a drawing or
information. When you choose the Set Lock command, OPUS I asks
you for the password. You can lock just the drawing, or both
the drawing and information. The Set Lock command also lets you
change the password for a drawing file. The password for new
OPUS I drawing files is the word "Password."
