Database.Save and eFileInternalErr

[Anonymous]

Hi, I'm calling this method from AutoCAD 2008 and managed objectarx:

Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.Database.Save()

and I get this exception "eFileInternalErr" and dwg doesn't saves.

How can I solve this? I cannot call "_qsave" command because I want to save immediately and continue only if save is successfull.
Thanks

I know nothing about ObjectArx, but in other languages you have to use the SaveAs method, and not the Save method. It is a bug in the their code as far as I know.

Yes, I also never have been able to directly call db.Save();

But, if you call the command SAVE, it works.

It works!

Thanks to all,

Tim - It's not a bug.

You can't save a database to the same file it was read from, because it may not have been completely read in initially, so saving to the same file poses the risk of concurrently reading/writing to the same file.

The SAVE command uses saveAs() to save to a different (e.g., temporary) file and then either deletes or renames the original to *.bak, and then renames the saved file to the original filename.

Thanks Tony. That makes sense.

After reading Tony description, I went and read about AcDbDatabase Class in
the ARX help - for the first time.

AcDbDatabase::save Function
Acad::ErrorStatus
save();
Currently not implemented. <<<=

Wow!

Now I see another reason why it wouldn't work. Thanks Luis.

Tim - The reason I cited for why you can't use save()
is the reason why save() is not implemented 🙂

I'm wondering... in this case why return an error "eFileInternalErr"? Something like "eNotImplemented" or "eNotImplementedUseSaveAs" would be clearer.

Anyway, thanks for your answer. It solved for me too.
