Using saveas in VBA

[Anonymous]

Hi, im trying to use the saveas command in AutoCAD 2000 VBA
without much success.
the line of code i'm using is:
ThisDrawing.SaveAs "c:\1\test.dwg", acR13_dwg
and it doesn't seem to work.
the drawing is not saved.

where am i going wrong.

thanks in advance

Can you show some more of your code. So long as the
folder '1' exists, the code you posted works fine here.

ThisDrawing.SaveAs "c:\1\test.dwg",
acR13_dwg

It should work fine like this:

acadApp.ActiveDocument.SaveAs ("filename")

But the filename must be accessible (The dir must exist, the filename must be readonly etc.)
