Hi,

I'm looking for some help with creating a routine to do a "save as" command to a specific location as per floor number and zone which can be found on the title section of the drawing as plain text.

I've been messing around with vlax-get-property 'TextString but I'm having no luck as yet.

Previously I have used commands similar to this:

(command "_.saveas" "2010" (strcat "A:\\Folder\\Folder\\"(GETVAR 'DWGNAME)))

But what I need is the drawing to save as A:\\Folder\\Level "levelno"\\DWG-"zone"-"levelno"-"revisionnumber".dwg
(info as on title block)

hope that makes sense!

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks
