Command for SaveAs

Scripting

I hate to ask something this simple, but I have spent an embarrassing amount of time trying to do something that I thought would be easy and well documented.

From Python, I want to save the project as a 3dm file. That’s all!

I tried the the rs.Command approach…

rs.Command(f'!_-SaveAs "{self.newTemplateFile}" -Enter', False)

which doesn’t throw an error, but also doesn’t work.

I tried the “Rhino Common” approach, but it senses that I am ignorant of how to get the syntax correct.
result = Rhino.RhinoDoc.SaveAs(self.newTemplateFile, 8, False, False, False, False)
and
result = Rhino.RhinoDoc.SaveAs(self.newTemplateFile, 8, False, False, False, False)

could anyone please tell me the correct command for this?

Also, opening and saving files seem like the most basic thing - shouldn’t these have been the first two commands added to RhinoScriptSyntax? Very frustrated after a long day.

Here is the code I use for my custom Save button. It saves a new copy of the open Rhino and GH docs to the desktop with a new date prefix.
