The Save As and Save Copy As commands are now used exclusively for saving the current file in a native Altium Designer format. The importers/exporters available will depend on the active document's type. Simply use the File » Import, or File » Export sub-menus to choose the file format required. Now, the importers and exporters for the formats you need are accessible directly from an editor's main File menu. No longer do you need to remember, and hunt, for the required file format in the Open or Save As dialogs.
