Menu bar → File → Save saves the current job. If there is no job name defined it is called Save as. Menu bar → File → Save as opens a dialog to save the current job under a new name.

Entities: If selected the entities of the selected file are loaded / saved.

Overwrite Entities: This Check button is only active for dialog Load. If activated the entities of the current job are deleted when the job is loaded. If not the job entities are added to the current job.

Pens: If selected, the pens of the job are loaded / saved. Grayed out if no pens are saved in the job file.

warning

In general, the Pen Settings are saved in <SCAPS>\system\sc_light_settings.sam if "Save Pens On Exit" is enabled or "Save Pens Now" is used.
It is possible to save and load the Pen Settings within a job (*.sjf). Be careful not to load any Pen Settings with a job and then accidentally overwrite other Pen Settings when leaving SAMLight while "Save Pens On Exit" is activated.

It is highly recommended to backup sc_light_settings.sam every time after having done any important or time consuming configuration of the Pen Settings.

note

The default state of the checkboxes Entities, Overwrite Entities and Pens can be set in the Job Save/Load Dialog.
