Script to save V6 and V5

Rhino Rhino for Windows
1

Does anyone have a script to save a V5 file alongside V6 automatically,I can set it up on an alias This is for compatibility with other users in our office.
I don’t really have time to look into coding this myself ,So it would be super handy if someone has a script prepped,Possibly Pascal?:grinning:

Hi Jason - see if this works:

import rhinoscriptsyntax as rs


def SaveMultiFormat():
    new = False
    name = rs.DocumentName()
    if name is None:
        rs.Command("Save")
        if rs.LastCommandResult() != 0: retrurn
        name = rs.DocumentName()
        new = true
        if name is None: return
    if not new: rs.Command('_Save')
    path = rs.DocumentPath()
    
    fullPath = path  + name.strip('.3dm') + 'V5' + '.3dm'
    rs.Command('_-Save Version=5 ' + chr(34) + fullPath + chr(34) + ' Enter')

if __name__ == '__main__':SaveMultiFormat()

SaveMultiFormat.py (549 Bytes)

To use the Python script use RunPythonScript, or a macro:

_-RunPythonScript "Full path to py file inside double-quotes"

I was almost there myself but i am not very familiar with Python,I shall tweak to my exact needs.

Brilliant,Thanks

You’re welcome. Also, spell ‘retrurn’ right…
