SaveAsFly

This method saves the specified group to a FLY file. For security reasons the file is saved to a predefined “Skyline\TerraExplorer” folder in the “Application Data” space of the current user. You can use %APPDATA% in Windows Explorer to locate the path on your computer.

Note: If the folder contains a file by the same name, the existing file is overwritten without a prompt.

Note: The Application Data folder path changes between different users and different Windows operating systems. To find the path used by your client look at the %APPDATA% environment variable.
