DrawingDocument.saveAs Method

Parent Object: DrawingDocument
Defined in namespace "adsk::drawing" and the header file is <Drawing/Drawing/DrawingDocument.h>

Description

Performs a Save As on this document. This saves the currently open document to the specified location and this document becomes the saved document. If this is a new document that has never been saved you must use the SaveAs method in order to specify the location and name. You can determine if the document has been saved by checking the value of the isSaved property.

Saving a document is not supported within any of the Command related events. When a command is running, a transaction is open, and saving a document cannot be transacted and, as a result, cannot be contained within a command transaction.
