Take a look at the Database.SaveAs Method.

Using AcApp = Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application;

//Inside your function

AcApp.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.Database.SaveAs();

Hi,

if you want just to save a drawing:

  ApplicationServices.Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.Database.Save

In this case you should first compare it the file already has an assigned name!

If you want to give the file a new name the use:

  Dim tFilename as String = "C:\TEMP\XX.DWG"

  Dim tVersion as DatabaseServices.DwgVersion = DatabaseServices.DwgVersion.Current

  ApplicationServices.Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.Database.SaveAs(tFileName,tVersion)

In this case yo should first check that the file does not exist before you start save!

...assuming you have these Import-settings on top of your file:

Imports Autodesk.AutoCAD

Hi,

to be honest ... can you read the text on your screenshot within your post?

If so let me know what browser you are using.

From what little I could make out of the screenshot, it looks like it was "eWasOpenForWrite". I could be mistaken though...

Yeh.... Sorry....Please check this screen shot.

You might need to lry locking the document

using (DocumentLock dLock = AcApp.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.LockDocument())
                {
                string tFilename = @"C:\TEMP\XX.DWG";
                Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices.DwgVersion tVersion = Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices.DwgVersion.Current;
                AcApp.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.Database.SaveAs(tFilename, tVersion);
                }

Hi,

have you installed the latest servicepacks? Did you run any code before you try to save and does this error also occure if yo udefine a command just doing that save?

To the error itself: it may not be a coding-fault as >>>this search<<< shows multiple appearances of this message.
