save as dialog

[gswifort]

Can I call SAVEAS with a pre-set directory, filename, and file type (changeable by the user if necessary)?

Not that I know of, you can use an event to capture and veto saveas command, or redefine the command

from pyrx import Rx, Ge, Gi, Db, Ap, Ed, Ax
import traceback

#run this before loading
#(command ".undefine" "_SAVEAS")

@Ap.Command()
def SAVEAS():
    try:
        res = Ed.Core.getFileNavDialog("Save", "C:/Users/Dan/Desktop/dwgs/template", "dwg", "Save", 1)
        print(res)
    except Exception as err:
        traceback.print_exception(err)

Thanks. The default settings are secondary, I would mainly like to open the same window as in saveas (with file type selection), in modal mode.

Are the same dialog AutoCAD uses for saveas (CAcUiNavDialog), and they are modal. Though I think your limited to just the file extensions I.e. “dwg;dwt;dxf;” in the filter, not versions.

in C++ you can actually subclass CAcUiNavDialog and use acedRegisterNavDialogCallbackFunction to insert your own nav dialog for CAD to use
