Save Drawing (HICADPDM)

In the Save as... menu you will find various functions to save documents (also HELiOS-related documents):

Please note: If you have already saved the document, you can use this icon to cache the drawing. The drawing will then be saved under the current file name.

Without part master

Use this function to save the current drawing to the database without creating a part master.

This procedure is identical with the New drawing with DB, without part master function. The only difference between these functions resides in the fact that with this function, an existing drawing is taken over to the database, while with the other function a newly-created drawing is taken over to the database.

With new part master

This function enables you to save the current drawing to the database and create a part master. A link between the part master and the document will automatically be created.

This procedure is identical with the New drawing with DB, with new part master function. The only difference between these functions resides in the fact that with this function, an existing drawing is taken over to the database, while with the other function a newly-created drawing is taken over to the database.

Assign part master

Use this function to save the current drawing to the database and assign an existing part master to it. A link between the part master and the document will automatically be created.

This procedure is identical with the New drawing with DB, assign part master function. The only difference between these functions resides in the fact that with this function, an existing drawing is taken over to the database, while with the other function a newly-created drawing is taken over to the database.

Please note: If you save a drawing with part master to the HELiOS database, a Part<-> Drawing link between the drawing and the part (part master) will be created by default. You may as well select a different link for this process. The underlying link is specified in the HiCAD variable. Use the Configuration function in the HELiOS Desktop to change it.
