Knowing when a template is being saved instead of a drawing

[dinomyar]

In my SSC_ArxApp class, during the On_kSaveMsg message handler, is there a way to tell if a template is being saved instead of a drawing? We have data that we save into the drawing, but do not want to save it in a template.

I would recommend to handle drawing save events with a class derived from AcRxEventReactor:

class YourEventReactor: public AcRxEventReactor 
{
  public:
    void beginSave    (AcDbDatabase*, const ACHAR *pIntendedName) override {
        // your code
    }
    void saveComplete (AcDbDatabase*, const ACHAR *pActualName) override {
        // your code
    }
    void abortSave    (AcDbDatabase*) override {
        // your code
    }
};
