Save Scope

Contents are linked together by aggregation links or dependency links. To ensure the content link consistency, each object must be saved with a minimal and consistent set of content. This set is called a relative save scope.

Link Consistency

Each object must be saved with a minimal and consistent set of content.

The diagram below gives an example of link consistency:



When running the Save with Options command, a global save scope is computed from an initial object which depends on the save mode:

  • Current Tab lets you save all the modified objects of the current tab.
  • Selected lets you save objects that depend on the object you double-clicked.
  • Session lets you save any modified objects in any tabs in the current session. Note that any new or modified objects of the current session can still be excluded.

Available Save Scopes

The Save with Options dialog box lets you choose between three save scopes displayed in a drop-down list at the top left corner of the dialog box.

In the example below, if you try and save "YZV_Phys_Prod A.1", the Save with Options dialog box appears:



  • Selecting Current Tab means that all objects open in the tab are included in the save scope.
  • Choosing Selected means that only objects dependent on "YZV_Phys_Prod A.1" are included in the save scope.
  • Selecting Session means that all objects open in the current session whatever their tab (current or not) are included in the save scope.
