Chapter 3: Setting Up a Drawing > Saving Your Work
As in all Windows-compliant applications, when you save an AutoCAD file for the first time by choosing Save, you can designate a name for the file and a folder in which to store it. I recommend that you create a special folder, called something like AutoCAD NER, for storing the files you’ll generate as you work your way through this book. This will keep them separate from project work already on your computer, and you’ll always know where to save or find a training drawing. To save your drawing, follow these steps:
1. In AutoCAD, click the Save button on the Quick Access toolbar or choose Save from the Application menu. Because you haven’t named this file yet, the Save Drawing As dialog box opens, as shown in Figure 3-20.
