How to get Default SecurityParameters when Using SaveAs (C#) AutoCAD 2008

[Anonymous]

In my code I am testing to see if the drawing path exists and if not, using SaveAs to save the file. The SaveAs command takes a parameter of type SecurityParameters. It will not allow me to create the object with new SecurityParameters(). Instead it wants a long list of parameters. All I wish to do is create the file as a normal file with no special permissions.



SecurityParameters sp = new SecurityParameters("password", "providerName", "subject", "issuer", "serialNumber", "comment", "TimeServer", Actions, Algorithm, keyLength, providerType);

oAcadApp.ActiveDocument.SaveAs(sFilePath, DwgVersion.Newest,sp);

SecurityParameters sp = new SecurityParameters();// does not compile

note oAcadApp.ActiveDocument.SaveAs(sFilePath, DwgVersion.Newest,null); does not compile.

Since the SecurityParam is optional parameter in the SaveAs() method of AcadDocument object and you tried to use "null", I assume you just want to do SaveAs without security stuff (password protecting or digital signature embedding...).

In VB/VBA/VB.NET, you can simply ignore the parameter and do SaveAs(filePath, Version). NOw that you use C#, you do not pass in null for the optinal argument that you do not need to use. Try to use System.Reflection.Missing.Value instead:

AcadDocument.SaveAs(filePath, fileVersion,System.Reflection.Missing.Value)

Thanks for that bit of Info, I had forgotten about that.
