I've been using Vectorworks for about 2 years and there's a small thing that's been bothersome to my workflow:
When working on a Vectorworks file and choosing to "Save As.." in order to Rev up the filename, the software doesn't inherently remember which folder the active file is from. Instead it takes me to the folder where the last document was saved. When working on multiple files, this could mean that Vectorwors takes me to Project A folder, when I'm trying to save Project B.
When I'm in a rush and don't remember to verify the folder it's saving the file to, I've "lost" the current revision of a file, only to find it days later in another folder, or have to run a search to locate it.
Could it be possible to update the Vectorworks software to find the folder that the active file is located in, when selecting the "Save As.." command?
If not, maybe there are some tips out there on how I can level up my workflow to avoid this complication.
