Choosing Save simply saves your work by updating the last saved version of the file to match the current changes you have on your screen.

2. Resize the object or make any changes.
3.Click File then select Save
4. It will notify on the status bar that the file is already saved. For save function, notice that it will just rewrite the changes made on 3DBenchy.stl file.
Choosing “Save As…” brings up a prompt to save your work as a file with a different name. For example, you might choose to save a document called “Test.amf” as “Test.stl”. This way, you can save your file at different format.
1.Open any file. (I.E : 3DBenchy.stl)
2.Click File then select Save As. You can choose to save 3DBenchy.stl into AMF, PLY and OBJ file extension.

4. Notice that Title bar changed from 3DBenchy.stl to Try.ply after saving it as PLY.
