Topic: eNotOpenForWrite error during db.SaveAs

[TJK44]

I am trying to SaveAs the current open dwg with a new name, I try to use this code but it errors out saying eNotOpenForWrite and AutoCAD then crashes. This is the code I'm using, not sure what I'm missing.

Code: [Select]

        Using curDb As Database = HostApplicationServices.WorkingDatabase
            curDb.SaveAs(dirname, True, DwgVersion.Current, curDb.SecurityParameters)
        End Using

Are you calling that from a pallete or form (ie: in Application context) ... if so you may need to try document locking.

Your code looks fine otherwise.

added:
Are you using a 'Session' Flag ?

Thanks Kerry, this fixed it. It was being called from a form.

Code: [Select]

        Using curDb As Database = HostApplicationServices.WorkingDatabase
            Using doclock As DocumentLock = document.LockDocument()
                curDb.SaveAs(dirname, True, DwgVersion.Current, curDb.SecurityParameters)
            End Using
        End Using
