Saving drawings

Before going further it is as well to know how to save the drawings
constructed when answering examples and exercises in this topic. When a
drawing has been constructed, left-click on Save As in the menu appearing
with a left-click on the AutoCAD icon at the top left-hand corner of the
window ( Fig. 3.9 ). The Save Drawing As dialog appears ( Fig. 3.10 ).
