Menu: File No icon No short cut
Saves the current workspace on an FTP-Server
Saves the current workspace temporarily in a model file in the selected format and transmits it
directly to a denoted FTP-Server.
As with the standard function for Saving a model file, it is verified before saving whether any
objects are marked, and inquired if only the marked parts or the whole workspace are supposed
to be saved.
Dialog Select file format
Before set-up of a FTP connection, a dialog is shown
for the selection of the file format for the model file
that is to be saved. Depending on the model content
of the current workspace, all supported file formats
are listed and they can be selected here.
An optional check whether the model is placed within
the build envelope is possible before saving. In case
the model is not positioned properly within the
envelope, it can be placed either automatically or it
can be saved without any change of its current
position.
If the dimensions of the model are too large for a
placement within the envelope, it can only be saved
without a change of the current position. Optionally,
saving can be cancelled so as to alter part placement
in the build envelope if required.
After the selection of the format, it will be checked
whether possibly existing model information such as
colours, hatches, negative coordinates or supports
can be saved in the chosen file format. In case of a
conflict, a corresponding warning is displayed.
In File options, specific settings regarding format version and possible format options can be
defined for certain formats.
INFO: You can also define the default measurement unit used for the individual file formats in
the File options dialog. VisCAM then converts from the internal unit of measurement
(millimeters) to the specified file unit automatically.
