Preferences - Open and Save

Preferences related to how Summit WMScanner opens and saves files are contained in the Open and Save
tab under the Options dialog. Users will typically want to keep the "Save as:" preference set to "Summit
WMScanner 2004 drawing". This option is the default; however, users can override this in the "Save
As..." dialog box available from the File menu.
External References (Xrefs) are links within a CAD drawing file to a separate, external drawing file. Xrefs
are typically only a concern when importing CAD drawings. The default settings should be sufficient
for most applications.
The options under the File Safety Precautions frame (see red arrow above) are very useful:
Automatic Save - Checking this box enables the save option, allowing you to specify a time interval in
●
minutes for saving your work.
Create backup copy with each save - Select to force Summit WMScanner to maintain a separate backup
●
file of each save.
Maintain a log file - This checkbox allows a user to capture the messages from the command line
●
window. The log file is written to the main program directory and the filename typically starts with
the name of the drawing and ends with a ".log" extension. It is important to note that each time you
run the software it will append new information onto the log file, meaning that it will grow larger
over time.
File extension for temporary files - This editable field allows you to change the "." suffix of the saved
●
file.
