API Save As Dialog

[Josh_Hunt]

SCENARIO: My plugin gets many PDFs then combines them into a single PDF. The user needs to decide where the PDF will be saved in Vault.  Vault Pro 2022

ISSUE: The API below gets the dialog below but this only works for selecting an existing PDF. I also need the user to be able to type a new name.  Am I looking in the wrong place or is this not provided in the API?

Autodesk.DataManagement.Client.Framework.Vault.Forms.Library.SelectEntity(connection, settings)

Hi Josh

I don't believe that there is an equivalent tool that will allow you to pick a new name

If so, that leaves you two options that I can think of

• Use that dialog to select the folder to save into, then prompt for the file name
• Create your own dialog, similar to the one in the SDK Vault Browser Sample

Hope that helps

Thanks @Nick_Hall.  The first option was my next path as long as I can select a folder OR PDF in the same dialog... hopefully.
