- 8.2 CLOSE DRAWING
-
-
- The CLOSE DRAWING command is used to exit the current drawing and return the
- user to the default blank sheet. The current drawing can be saved to disk
- or discarded if required.
-
- Unless the QUIT modifier is used, the current drawing will be saved to disk
- under the name in which it was originally opened. The drawing can be saved
- under a different name using the NAME modifier. If the destination filename
- for the drawing already exists, a requester will appear asking for
- confirmation for the last saved version of the drawing to be overwritten.
-
-
- MODIFIERS
-
- NAME Can be used to specify an alternative filename used to save
- the current drawing. The filename should be in standard
- AmigaDos format consisting of no more than 80 characters.
-
- QUIT If this modifier is used, the current drawing will not be
- saved to disk. A requester will appear to confirm that you
- actually want to do this.
-
- NOGRAPHICS The NOGRAPHICS modifier can be used to save the current
- drawing without any graphics information, only the drawing
- database is saved.
-
- It is best to use this modifier for drawings that will be
- archived or not accessed for a long period of time. Saving a
- drawing without graphics data can reduce the size of the
- destination file by up to 75%. When a drawing is saved using
- NOGRAPHICS and later recalled with the OPEN DRAWING command,
- the graphics data is rebuilt from the drawing database.
