A:

Use FileUIEvents.OnFileSaveAsDialog to Intercept Save Behavior

You can hook into the OnFileSaveAsDialog event and override the filename programmatically. While you can’t grey out the field, you can force the filename regardless of what the user enters:

VBA Example:


Private Sub FileUIEvents_OnFileSaveAsDialog( _
    ByRef FileTypes() As String, _
    ByVal SaveCopyAs As Boolean, _
    ByVal ParentHWND As Integer, _
    ByRef FileName As String, _
    ByVal Context As NameValueMap, _
    ByRef HandlingCode As HandlingCodeEnum)

    ' Force the filename
    FileName = "lv005.ipt"
    HandlingCode = HandlingCodeEnum.kEventHandled
End Sub

This overrides the dialog result and saves with your desired filename.

Is there any way you can show the names of created Work Planes in the graphics window. (Dare I say 'like you can in almost every other 3d package"). It really bugs me that you have to use the model browser to locate a specific work plane or use 'Find in browser' in the graphics window. This is a real PITA when trying to create skeletal models.
