Saving Maps and Graphs

The changes you make to a map or graph exist only in your computer's temporary memory until you save the map or graph on your computer's hard disk. It's a good idea to save your work frequently.

To save a map or graph for the first time:

Choose File > Save As
Type a name for the map or graph
Choose a format for the map or graph (Weatherscript is the default; see below for more information)
Select a location to save the map or graph
Click Save

To save an existing map or graph with a new file name:

Choose File > Save As
Type a new name for the map or graph
Choose a Format for the map or graph (Weatherscript is the default; see below for more information)
Select a location to save the map or graph
Click Save

The default file type for maps and graphs is Weatherscript. You have the option to save maps and graphs as several different file types.

To save a map or graph as a different file type:

Choose File > Save As
Choose the Format drop-down menu and select your desired file type

Note: The file type used by WeatherScope is called WeatherScript (denoted by the ".wxscript" extension). WeatherScirpt files can be animated, have zoom levels changed, have products added or deleted, or the properties of any product modified. If you save a map or graph in another format, you will not be able to reopen it in WeatherScope.
