# Saving a Fabric View File

The two ways to save a fabric view to a file are:

* Saving the default fabric view file (fc_view.dft) to the user’s home directory when exiting SANbox Manager

* Using the Save View As option to save the current fabric view to a file (filename.fab) in any directory

To save a fabric view file to a directory other than the user’s home directory, do the following:

1. Open the File menu, and select Save View As.

2. In the File Name field of the Save View dialog, enter a new path name for the view file.

3. Enter a password in the File Password field.

4. Click the OK button.
