Hello Likage, Be aware that the fileDialog2 command only gets a filename(or filenames) then you need to rename the scene, and save it.
I dont have maya around to check it out, but it should be something like this import maya.cmds as cmds name = cmds.fileDialog2(ds=2, fileFilter="Maya Ascii (*.ma)") #not sure if fileDialog2 returns a single name or a list, # in case it's a list use name[0] cmds.file( rename=name ) cmds.file( save=True, type='mayaAscii' ) Cheers, Eduardo On Wed, Dec 24, 2014 at 1:05 AM, likage <[email protected]> wrote: > I have looked at the list of maya commands available but I am unable to > find any dialogs that are similar to 'Save Scene as' and I chanced upon > fileDialog and fileDialog2. > > I can try using mel.eval('SaveSceneAs') but it does seems like a practical > approach, maybe?
