Saving only changed files

Saving only changed files

Saving only changed files

(OP)
Is there a Save option to save only changed files when doing a Save All?  I'd like to not save the unchanged files again and again and would think the Save All command might go faster.
Currently running NX 5.0.6.3.
Thanks,
Atmbob

RE: Saving only changed files

Note that the...

File -> Save All

...already does exactly that.

If you hover your cursor over the 'Save All' menu item you will note that the Balloon Help states: "Saves all modified parts and all top level assembly parts".  Note that "top level assembly parts" are referring the ONLY the assembly file itself.

RE: Saving only changed files

(OP)
Would "bottom-up" design cause resaves to occur?  Are we wrong to have a component as the "subassembly"?  Such that,
widget
--thingamagig
----whatchamacallit,
would cause "widget" to file often?
Whereas,
subassembly_widget
widget
--thingamagig
----whatchamacallit,
would limit how often widget gets file.  Correct?
 
Also, how many "top level assemblies"?  All assemblies above where you're working in context, or THE top assembly?

Thanks,
Bob

RE: Saving only changed files

One thing to consider is the version of the files. If your lower-level components are saved in an older version of NX, they will be listed as modified in the current version.
