Command stops when saving over the same file name

[rcb007]

I am getting stuck on trying to figure out why this piece of the code errors out on the rest of the routine.

 

I have routine with a bunch of (command)s then, towards the end of the routine is this command.

(setq prename (getfiled "Save as" "Concept" "dwg" 1))(command "_.saveas" "2018" prename)

If the files does not existing, it works as it should.

However, if the file does exist, it will save over the file and then stop the routine from continuing onward.

 

Any ideas?

use the 'expert' variable

Thanks for the pointer lol. It does make sense now.

 

(setvar 'expert 5)

(setq prename (getfiled "Save as" "Concept" "dwg" 1))(command "_.saveas" "2018" prename)

(setvar 'expert 0)

and it works! Thank you.

Might change it to: 

 

(setq expertvar (getvar 'expert))
(setvar 'expert 5)
(setq prename (getfiled "Save as" "Concept" "dwg" 1))(command "_.saveas" "2018" prename)
(setvar 'expert expertvar)

just in case expert is set to something else initially?
