Clicking on the File/Save Project As menu item provides the means for saving the current state of the open project (all project related settings) to a project file. The TTKGP & TTKPROJECT files contains all the information required to pull the map project together, including the file names and paths for each layer, the layer order, the map area coordinate system, and the visual properties of each layer, e.g., colors, thematic presentation, labels, fonts, symbols, charts, scale ranges, etc.). The File/Save Project As function does not save any changes to made to the geometry or attributes of open layers to their respective layer files.
