Hello,

I'm trying to write a Mapkey to save a .drw files as a .dxf file in a specific folder. Is there a "wildcard" character that I can use when saving a .dxf?

We're using Intralink, so the "Save a Copy" is currently set to a specific working folder. I'd like to set the Mapkey to save the DXF to a constant folder not in the working directory.

The only way I've gotten it work saving a .dxf is to open the "Save a Copy", choose .dxf from the pulldown, and then paste the path into the New Name field - something like, if * was a working wildcard / default name:

I:/MYFOLDER/TEMP/*.dxf

When I've tried making the Mapkeys it either doesn't work, or saves every dxf as the same filename I used originally. Any ideas?

Thanks!
