# Save SDC from Assembly

The **Save SDC from Assembly** command enables you to select an Assembly in Revit and save the Smart Assemblies Configuration to your computer.

The command is useful if you need to retrieve a configuration from a previously-created Assembly, or if you want to save a configuration for an assembly with an Instance Configuration (see [**SDC Modify by Instance**](/common-for-several-products/smart-assemblies/modify-sdc-by-instance.md) help file), or if you received a file from another person.

After selecting **Save SDC from Assembly** command, you will be asked to either enter the name of the new configuration or tick the checkbox to Overwrite Existing option.

You will also have to do the same with Dimensioning Rules.

After you save it, you will be able to use this configuration on other Assemblies.

{% hint style="info" %}
Configurations of Smart Dimensions will not be retrieved with this command.
{% endhint %}

Also, it will work only if the Assembly was created with configuration, which has this option ticked ON before creating assembly:

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.besmart.software/common-for-several-products/smart-assemblies/save-sdc-from-assembly.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
