Code to do SAVE AS operation

Anonymous — Thu, 13 Jul 2023 13:53:20 GMT

Hi

Is there a function to do a SAVE AS operation?

I have found the Save function but I need to save the opened Archicad to be a different name.

Yes there is.

static void		Do_Save_Plan (void)

	GSErrCode	err;

	err = ACAPI_Automate (APIDo_SaveID, NULL, NULL);
	if (err != NoError) {

		sprintf (msgStr, "Error in APIDo_SaveID: %d", (int) err);

	fsp.fileTypeID = APIFType_TIFFFile;

	IO::Location folderLoc;

By the way you can look at Automate_Functions example

Thank you for your response.

However I am looking for a 'SAVE AS' function, I believe this one from the examples is just a 'SAVE' function

Not sure about this, but have you tried changing the API_FileSavePars.file to your desired "different" file name?
