Parameters

SaveName

Fully qualified path and filename to which to save the data (see Remarks)

SaveAs

If...	Then ...
True	A dialog is displayed prompting the user to specify where to save the file. SaveName is ignored.
False	If SaveName is specified, then the active document is saved to that location and file. If SaveName is empty, then the active document is saved to the location and file from which it was opened.

CommandString

Specify an empty string (""); do not specify Nothing, Empty, or vbNullString

To save a document to a specific export format, you must include the filename extension of that format in the filename. Valid filename extensions for the supported export formats are .jpg, .tif, .bmp, .stl, .exe, .htm, .zip, .edrw, .eprt, and .easm.

NOTE: Certain export formats are only appropriate for certain document types. For example, you cannot save a .edrw file as an STL file using this method or in the user interface.

Because EModelViewControl::Save starts a new thread of execution and because eDrawings files are often saved across the Internet or other potentially slow and unreliable networks, this API call can return before the document is finished saving.

Referencing a model that has not finished saving can cause your application to hang, crash, or behave unpredictably. Therefore, listen for the OnFinishedSavingDocument event after calling EModelViewControl::Save so that your application knows when the eDrawings file is finished saving. Once your application receives notification that the eDrawings file has been saved, it is safe to exit your application or load another file in the same function.
