Saving layout information

To save settings to a layout file, click the [3D view] tab -> [Layout file] group -> [Save]/ [Save as] button on the
ribbon.
The layout file is overwritten with the current layout information by clicking the [Save] button.
When the [Save as] button is clicked, the "Input new name" screen is displayed. In this screen, enter the layout
file name, and click the [OK] button. The current layout information is saved as a layout file using the name you
entered, and is registered to the workspace.
Caution
Cautions when saving layout information that uses a 3D model or an MXT file
When a 3D model or MXT file is used in a layout, the file in use when the layout information is saved
is copied to the same folder as the layout file, and from then on the copied file is referenced. To edit a 3D
model or MXT file, either edit a copied file or select the file again after editing it.
