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.
