Post From: Save As in sub-instance

The first thing is that there should not be any issue with saving drawings in a chart in a sub-instance. We just tested to ensure there was not something strange occurring, and we are not seeing an issue with this.

Also, we are not seeing an issue with the backups of the sub-instance.

The only thing we can think is that you may be getting confused between the sub-instance and the main instance. In particular, chartbooks are not shared between the sub-instance and the main instance. So even if you have a chartbook with the same name, when you make changes to it in the sub-instance, those changes are not going to occur to the chartbook in the main instance. All sub-instance charts are completely independent from any other instance. Refer to the following on this:

This may also be the issue with the backups. The sub-instances have their own file directory structure, so when you go to the "Backups" folder, you need to ensure that you are selecting the one that is under the sub-instance and not the folder for the main instance.

If you continue to have an issue given the above, then let us know.
