When doing a File > Save As is there a way to not have the Saved As file be the current one??

In otherv words: Open Drawing A, Save As Drawing A Copy, Continue editing Drawing A

Type SAVE at the command line, choose where to save and what name to use. The new file will be created and you will be left in the original drawing.
