• Derived drawings which were not created as sheet views of the current drawing, but in a new drawing, will be automatically saved by HiCAD to the same directory to which the original drawing has been saved. The file name is composed of the prefix "CD" and an automatically generated, unique ID, e.g. CD_263485165.
