The SaveModel extension allows you to save the active AutoCAD drawing through Assistant. It supports both quick-saving the current file and saving to a new file path.
- Quick Save: Save the active drawing to its existing file path
- Save As: Save the active drawing to a new file path with a new name
- Error Handling: Provides clear feedback when no document is open or a required save path is missing
- Leave Save with new name unchecked
- Run the extension — the active drawing is saved in place (equivalent to
QSAVE)
- Check Save with new name
- Enter a full file path in the Save path field (
.dwg or * for all files)
- Run the extension — the drawing is saved to the specified path
The extension returns:
- Succeeded: Confirmation message with the saved file path
- Failed: Error message explaining why the save could not be completed (e.g., no active document, missing save path)
- An active AutoCAD document must be open
- If saving with a new name, a valid file path must be provided
