I want to freeze a state of a project like .pmk was!

Now that with archicad 10 is not more possible to save views into .pmk format, which other file format is suggested to "freeze" a project state to a file that "i update only if i want"?

You can set your drawings to Manual update. Does that not cut it for you?

Time-stamped project backups is another way. As is saved published pdf layoutt books.

No, i want a file that is on my hard disk for future reference of what i made. Any view can accidentally be changed, a .pmk file not!

You can accidentally change a PMK... it's not that hard to do!

Nothing special. Hard disk space is cheap these days:
Save the project as a .pla (Archive file). Then zip the whole CAD folder of the project, including modules, exrefs etc, to an archive, named as the project with the date amended.
