normally when you do save as to save a revision, its usually being saved in the same location as the previous files. So it will automatically point to the audio file and plug in settings folder or etc. However if you did want to save the revision to another location, it would still point to all those files, the problem comes when you say save the revision to an external HD and you then take that HD to a friends house .. since its just the PTX file and its not plugged into your computer where the audio and other files re it will kick up an error. So if you did save ass, you would manual have to be certain to copy all the needed project files to the same external as well so when u opened it on your friends computer you could then point it to the copy of the files on the external as well. Save Copy in does this lal for you and ensures all needed files will be present in the same folder where you save that version of the project.
