what is saved what is not

[Konrad]

Hello,
Could someone clarify me what exactly is saved and what is not:
1. when a generic instance of part is saved
2. when a child instance of part is saved
3. when a generic instance of assembly is saved
4. when a child instance of assembly is saved
5. when a drawing is saved

Thanks
Konrad

1. The generic (& all instances)
2. The generic (& all instances)
3. The generic (& all instances)
4. The generic (& all instances)
5. The drawing & it's model (part or assembly)

Thank, robertib. Let me add two more:
6. Are the detail parts of an assembly saved when an assembly is saved?
7. Are all the drawing models (parts&assemblies) saved when they appear on a different sheets of a drawing, which is saved?

6. Yes
7. Yes

BUT only if they have been modified, unless you have the config.pro option for save_objects set to ALL.

Also, if you add a new instance to a family table and when you verify, the existing instances are already verified, only the generic and the new instances are saved.

Did you mean to say:
"6. Yes
7. Yes

BUT only if they have been modified, AND ONLY IF you have the config.pro option for save_objects set to ALL.

No, I said it right and so did you.

When a modified assembly is saved, only the modified components are saved by default, save_objects set to changed and specified. If the config.pro setting for save_objects is set to ALL, then files that have not been modified are also saved.

When an assembly is saved all modifed componets are saved with it unless save_objects is set to all, in which case all components are saved.

Is that better?

draw_models_read_only and who knows what other config opts also affect?

I've wished for (out of curiosity mostly) an option to display a save list. You can use DOS attrib and dir commands to see what 'has been' saved.

Just set your windoze explorer to show details and sort by the modified date. You will see a complete list of what has just been saved.
