Exiting

Use the Exit command to terminate working on the current drawing.

To exit:

  • Click File > Exit (or type Exit).
  • Click Exit on the application menu (or type Exit).

  • If one or more drawings have changed since they were last saved, a prompt asks whether to save the changes for each changed drawing.

    If a drawing is unnamed, the Save File dialog box opens so you can set the location, name, and file type.

    After saving the open drawings, the current working session ends.
