The File menu's save actions, autosave, keyboard shortcut, and PDF export, including the export.pdf entitlement gate.
File menu
The File menu offers:
Entry
Effect
New
Detaches the current project and resets every input to its default.
Load project
Opens a previously saved project.
Save
Saves to the current project.
Save As
Saves the current inputs as a new project.
Rename
Renames the current project.
Autosave
Toggles automatic saving; the menu shows On or Off.
Saving and managing projects requires an account. Signed out, the menu shows Sign in to
save & manage projects in place of the save actions.
Keyboard shortcut
Ctrl + S (Cmd + S on macOS) triggers Save.
Export PDF
Export PDF is available two ways: from the toolbar's primary action button, and from the
File menu under a Report group. Both trigger the same export.
PDF export is gated on the export.pdf entitlement. If your plan does not include it,
the button carries a pro badge; selecting it does not generate a report — it routes you
to upgrade instead. This applies to signed-out and free users alike. See
Plans and payments for what each plan includes.
The report is titled "Voltage Drop — Cable Selection Record" and is built from the same
inputs and result on screen from your last Calculate/Recalculate run — both Print and
Export PDF are disabled whenever the inputs have changed since that run (the rail shows
Recalculate, not Calculated), so the report can never contradict what you last ran. It
contains:
A summary grid — overall implemented-checks status, voltage drop (% and V), current-capacity
status, corrected current capacity (A/run), design current, and maximum one-way length.
Cable selection and provenance — cable family, selected size, installation method /
reference method, and the exact BS 7671 ampacity and voltage-drop source tables.
BS data provenance — the edition, verification date, and source tables the tabulated data
is drawn from.
The full calculation steps — every audit formula (symbolic, substituted, result) with its
source-table reference, matching the on-screen steps.
The cable size comparison table and the smallest suitable size (or a note that the
comparison is unavailable when a manufacturer override is active).
Assumptions and warnings, and the full engineering disclaimer.
