This command saves the active document with a given name into a directory. When the document is saved for the first time, FRED displays the Save As dialog box allowing entry of a file name. If you want to change the name and directory of an existing document before you save it, select the Save As command from the file menu.
NOTE: When dealing with multiple windows that describe the same optical system (i.e. the optical layout and various analysis plots), you are not prompted to save changes to the system until you close the last window that relates to that system. For instance, say you have cassegrain.frd open, along with a Ray Positions Plot and a Ray Irradiance Distribution Plot. If you close the Ray Positions Plot and the optical layout window, FRED will not ask you to save the changes you have made. It will only ask you to save the changes when you close the Ray Irradiance Distribution Plot. To return to the main FRED document view, select Menu > Window > New Window.
