The best procedure is to name and save your drawing from the start by selecting Save As. When you have created the drawing, you only need to click Save occasionally while you work and when you are finished.

Follow these steps:
Go to the File menu and select Save As. The Save Drawing dialog box opens (see Figure 1 below).
Browse to the location where you wish to save your drawing. You can sort your files by date or name by clicking one of the icons in the top right corner (see Figure 2 no 1). You can also choose how to view your files by clicking one of the icons in the top right corner (see Figure 1 no 2).
Name/rename the drawing in the File name field.
Click the Save button.
