Automate the save as proccess

Anonymous

Hi all

 

I am doing my first AutoCad project and have a couple of questions.

 

First a discription of what I am trying to acomplish...

 

I am extracting data from a drawing file, to do this I am converting the drawing to xml and then have a xml reader that extracts the data.

I am at the point where I run netload and extractall this then creates the xml but pops up a "Save as dialog/file browser" where I then have the option to give the xml file a name and to choose the directory.

 

I want to find a way to hard code the directory where the file saves and also give it a name, so no user input. It takes the name of the drawing file and name the xml the same (except of course for the file extention) then save it to a default directory.

Is there a way to access the API and accomplish this?

 

Also is there a way to close autocad automaticallly after the XML has been created?

 

I am very new to this so go easy on me please

 

Thanks in advance

Johan

Can you show the code for how you are trying to save the xml file?
