Allows changes to a parking design to be saved as a new iteration or update an existing iteration. This procedure assumes that at least one parking design was created (see To Create a New Design) and that the design has changed since the last iteration was saved.

To Save a Design Iteration:

1. Click Design Manager on the ParkCAD toolbar or ribbon. A dialog box similar to the following example displays:

Design Manager indicating a need to save design changes

2. Under Available Designs, click the desired parking design (if only one design was previously saved, it will be selected automatically).

3. (Optional) If you want to update an iteration select it in the Iterations table under Iterations.

4. Click Save Design Iteration. A dialog box similar to the following example displays:

Save Design Iteration

5. Depending on whether you want to save the parking design as a new iteration or to update the existing iteration, select the appropriate option.

6. Click OK.

Save New Design Iteration

7. Click OK to save the design iteration and return to the Design Manager dialog box.
