User Manual

You cannot save changes to factory files — these files are read-only. If you run the Save com-
mand on a factory file, it automatically turns into the Save As… command: a Save Group dia-
log opens and lets you save your modified Group to your user library. See next paragraph for
more details. The same happens with Groups you have built from scratch.
Saving Your Modified Group as a New Group
If you want to save modifications you have made on a Group originating from a factory library,
or if you don’t want to overwrite the original Group with your modified version, or if there is no
original version of your Group (i.e. you built it from scratch), you can save it as a new Group
file:
1. Right-click (on macOS: [Ctrl]-click) the Group in the Group List or the Group name in the
top left corner of the Pattern Editor and select Save As… from the context menu:
A Save Group dialog appears. By default, the Group file will be saved in your Standard
User Directory (as defined in Preferences > Library > User, see section ↑2.6.4, Preferen-
ces – Default Page for more information).
2. If you wish, choose another path and/or type another name with your computer keyboard.
3. Press [Enter] to confirm and close the Save Group dialog.
→ Your Group is now saved.
