At this point you can create/save a unique file (with an "olt" extension) that describes the Dimensions you just created (this will serve as a template that could be used over again without going through the steps that have been performed earlier.)
1. Click Save button (found in the bottom right side of the Dimensions dialog).

2. In the Save As dialog box, you will name the file—e.g., Northwind Definition—and save it where you choose. Once you have made these choices.

3. Click Save in the Save As dialog box.
You are returned to the Dimensions dialog box. All current Dimensions are listed.
Tip
If you want to use these Dimensions in the creation of a Cube in another
database (Note: OLT files cannot be used to create another Cube
in the same database), you can do so as follows: within the Dimensions
dialog box, click Load, then select the OLT file to "load
in" the Dimension information. You can use this OLT file to test
the Cube on another machine or if you are creating the same Cube numerous
times, in different databases. Note, however, that once this OLT file
is created, you cannot modify the Dimension definitions—they are fixed as they were saved
originally in the OLT file.
