File Menu

  Click this button to create a New drawing file. Ezicad will create a dwg file called drawing1.dwg ; the second time drawing2.dwg is created etc.

  This menu item opens an existing drawing. It brings up a windows File Open dialog where you can select the appropriate folder and select the file.

 

  This closes the open dwg and saves the dwg to disk. You are given the option of changing the file name. Particularly appropriate if the drawing was opened using the File New command. The dwg version defaults to the version when the file was opened; however you have the option of saving in a different version if desired. This is useful if your client only has an older version of Acad or equivalent.
