Hi,

i want to save a single object into a new document, using this code:

> <code>
> fn.SetDirectory(Filename(path));
> fn.SetFile(object->GetName());
> fn.SetSuffix("c4d");
> //GePrint("saving "+object->GetName()+" to "+fn.GetFileString());
> AutoAlloc<BaseDocument> saveDoc;                         
> BaseObject* clone = (BaseObject* )object->GetClone(COPY_NO_ANIMATION,NULL);
>                saveDoc->InsertObject(clone,NULL,NULL);     
>                saveDoc->SetDocumentName(fn.GetFileString());
> fn.FileSelect(FSTYPE_SCENES, GE_SAVE);      
>           if(SaveDocument(saveDoc,fn,SAVEFLAG_SHOWERROR, FORMAT_C4DEXPORT)) {
>      GePrint("TRUE - SUCCESS");
> }
> else {
>      GePrint("FALSE - FAILED");

i get the 'save as' dialog, but when i press 'save', it always returns false.. Does anybody know what is wrong with the code ?

thanks,
Daniel

I'd drop the 'fn.FileSelect()' call altogether. This is accomodated in the SaveDocument() call:

SaveDocument(saveDoc, fn, SAVEFLAG_SHOWERROR|SAVEFLAG_SAVEAS, FORMAT_C4DEXPORT)

It may be that 'saveDoc' must be inserted into the document list before it can be saved. Have you tried InsertBaseDocument(saveDoc) before saving? Since you AutoAlloc the BaseDocument, I would remove it from the document list right after saving with saveDoc->Remove(); to avoid crashing.

lol, i got it now..

was using an older demo-version of c4d for backward-compatibility, thus saving was disabled ofc ..

thanks for trying to help me robert, now it works with the original code.

cheers,
Daniel

Ah. Yeah, you can't save documents from a demo-version.

Glad you got around that.
