Chapter 4 Opening & Saving Drawings
The File page of the Drawing Options dialog box lets you specify whether
AutoSketch should create backup files when you save a file, whether it should
automatically save the current file at a time interval set by you, and whether
you want the File New dialog box or the Start Up dialog box to appear when
you click New on the File menu, or start AutoSketch. To reach these controls,
click Drawing Options on the Tools menu, then click the File page tab.
