Hello,
Im writing a macro and need to know how to Save the drawing I created with the macro, within the code. The macro runs, then the Save As window pops up. The only help I can find in the help file is dwg.SaveAs, or just SaveAs. However I do not know how to impliment it. If anyone has some code with this function, Id love to take a look at it just to compare what Im trying to do with what works. Thanks so much.
HighHelix, this is for your autocam program? Usually the .SaveAs requires an expression that relates to the
document, workbook, or presentation. In your case it should relate to a drawing. I dont know what the object
is in autocam, but it should go something link this...
VB Code:
Do I have to specify what the file should be called? I need to run this macro over and over again and I dont want to declare a file name within the macro. I need the Save As window to come up so I can name the drawing. Im going to pick up a book, but it is difficult because of the unique application. CNCs are now commonplace for Millwork companies and I know lots of people who would write their own code, except no one has written a book on writing VBA code for CAM applications. Know any authors? Id be happy to provide technical info for co-author rites! :D
I dont know of any off-hand, but I'll keep it in mind.
You should be able to use the Object Browser to see all the available objects and their methods/props/events.
Usually you can press F2 to bring it up. In this browser you can search for the Save and SaveAs. It should
have a brief syntax description too.
