Exiting SANsurfer Fabric View

To exit a SANsurfer Fabric View session, open the File menu and select Exit. If you have made changes to the view, the Save Default Fabric File dialog, shown in Figure B-2, prompts you to save the view as the default fabric view file. A fabric view file contains the set of fabrics that have been added and the graphs that have been opened during a SANsurfer Fabric View session. You may also enter a password with which to protect the default fabric view file, but a password is not required. Refer to ”Changing the SANsurfer Fabric View Default Fabric File Password” on page B-4for information about changing this password. Choose one of the following:

Enter a password in the Default File Password field or leave it blank and choose the Save View File button. This saves the default fabric view file in the working directory.

Choose the Exit Without Saving button to exit the application without saving the current fabrics to the default fabric view file.

Choose the Cancel Exit button to cancel the exit operation.
