Summary
Saves all currently active unit definitions into the specified file.
Example (n/a)
No example is available for this feature.

Syntax (8.13l)
saveunits filename:s
filename:s Specified file and path or tag if the filename uses the special {0} area.

The format of the saved information is as valid unit macros, similar to those that appear in ssys.3ad. For example:

 unit 1 ,"cc","cc","cicero",12,7,30,4.5134837925 1
 unit 2 ,"mm","mm","mm" ,10,0,0 ,1.0 2
 unit 3 ,"cm","cm","cm" ,10,0,30,10.0 3
 unit 4 ,"in","in","inch" ,10,0,0 ,25.4 4

The saved information be used to restore a set of units at some later time (using the run or trun macros). Before doing so, it may be useful to deactivate all current units; individual unit slots may be deactivated by using the unit macro with only the slot number. E.g. 'unit 4' deactivates unit slot number 4.
