Please note that the saving process can be time-consuming.

Please note:

• When saving in SZX format, the sheets of all Sheet areas will always be saved. This allows a displaying of all sheets in the HiCAD Viewer and also in HELiOS.
• When using the Save as... function, the scope of the preview can be specified in the dialogue window.

• If you open and edit a SZA file which had been created with a version older than HiCAD 2015 (2000.0), the scope of preview for HELiOS and the HiCAD Viewer will be automatically set to Active sheet for the Save function. This means that only the sheet that was active during saving will be displayed in HELiOS and in the Viewer. If you want to change the preview mode to All sheets, use the Save with preview, All sheets function.
• If you save a drawing that has been created with HiCAD 2015 (2000.0) or a higher version, the scope of preview that was last saved for this file will be used. If you want to change it, use the functions of the Save with preview for Model and all Sheets menu.
