    Saving a file

    I download a dxf file from this site, made some changes and tried saving it. I get a warning saying "File Cannot Be Opened. Check Read Only Attribute." What am I doing wrong?

    I was trying to save it under a different file name by using save as after I made my changes to the geometry. I checked the properties of the original file and the read only box is not checked. Forgive me as I'm a newbie to all of this and I'm trying to learn Mastercam X.
