Save location changes after design...

At any one time in Fusion I might have 4 or 5 projects going. Each is saved in a different folder, down a different path in the data panel. When I update a project and want to save it with a different name, or when I start a new project and go to save, it defaults to wherever the last save was, no matter the path.

 

So for instance if I'm working on one design and save it down the path 'CNC - Roadcases - Box 1', but then I work on '3d Printing - Tool Organizers - SAE Wrench Organizer 1'. When I go to save the wrench organizer as SAE Wrench Organizer 2, it will save it under the 'Roadcases' folder, since that's where the last save was. That's crazy - it should follow the path from the original drawing ie it should save in the 'Tool Organizers' folder, unless I specifiy otherwise.

 

I know it's not that big of a deal, but it's annoying to have to change all the time, but worse, it's so easy to forget/miss, and end up saving things all over the place. Then you have to figure out where you saved them, and move them around to the appropriate locations. Is it just me that has this problem? Thanks,

Thanks for the question. If you look at the data panel, is it showing "Recent" files, or is it browsed to the location you wish to save?
