15.11 Saving Your Work

Besides being able to navigate the File Browser to find things that have been saved you will

inevitably want to save your work. It's a good idea to be organised and create folders for different

things.

Make a new folder in the C:\ Directory and name it A_My_Blender_Stuff.

Open the File Browser Editor.

Click on Windows (C:) under Volumes (upper LH). In the File browser Header click the Create

New directory Button. New Folder is created. With the Typing Cursor active, backspace and

retype A_My_Blender_Stuff. Press Enter.

Note: Putting A at the beginning of the name places

the New Folder at the top of the list in the C:\ Drive

(makes it easy to find).

Strokes

As an exercise a Blender file named My_Blender_File.blend will be saved to the new folder

named My_Blender_Stuff.

Open a new 2D Animation Workspace and draw Strokes in the 2D Viewport Editor. Drawing the

Strokes will distinguish the file to be saved from the original file..

In the Screen Header, click on File then click on Save As in the menu. The

Blender File Viewer opens. Navigate to the Folder named My_Blender_Stuff.

At the bottom of the File Viewer, where you see untitled.blend, click to display

the Typing Cursor, backspace and retype a name for your new file,

My_New_File.blend (If you forget the .blend suffix, Blender will obligingly add

it for you). Click on Save As (highlighted blue).
