Backup Files
You may have noticed as you have progressed through the tutorials, extra files with the text 0001, 0002, etc. after the file name have been added. These are backup files of your original drawing.
By default, three backups are saved and are sequential. The setting to change the
number of files saved is in the Save As dialog box. Click on the Options… button.
After you have completed each tutorial, you may wish to delete the backup files to save space.
