Summary
This command is used to save the currently active document.
Access
This command can be accessed from the active document's editor by:
- Choosing the File » Save command, from the main menus.
- Clicking the button on the Quick Access Bar.
- Clicking the button on the editor's main toolbar.
- Using the Ctrl+S keyboard shortcut.
Use
After launching the command, the active document will be saved.
Tips
- A modified document is flagged by an asterisk suffix next to its entry in the Projects panel. A modified document also has an asterisk next to its name in its open document tab (or on the associated pop-up menu if documents are grouped).
- For schematic documents, if the current file format is not Binary Version 5.0, the File Format dialog will appear, from where you can choose the format in which to save. It is recommended to choose the option to save in SCH Binary Version 5.0. If you have used features that were not available in previous versions of Altium Designer, saving in an earlier format may result in loss of data.
- For PCB documents, if the current file format is not Binary Version 6.0, the File Format dialog will appear, from where you can choose the format in which to save. It is recommended to choose the option to save in PCB Binary Version 6.0. If you have used features that were not available in previous versions of Altium Designer, saving in an earlier format may result in loss of data.
- The active document can also be saved (if in a modified state) by using the corresponding command from its document tab - right-click on the tab to access a context menu of commands. Note that this command will not be available if multiple documents of the same type are open and currently grouped.
