Saving a file to custom path

[Lidia Martinez]

Hi pythons,
weird stuff if happening. I try to save a file to a custom path i created, not inside of the default workspace. For example:  C:/myfolder/ 

After a while trying to understand why passing a path to the cmds.file(save = True) command doesn't work, I come across this two lines:

cmds.file( rename = sceneName) # I change the name of the scene, but the path on the top bar keeps being the default workspace. If i pass a full path, it gets appended to the default workspace path.

fileSaved = cmds.file( force = True, save = True, type = 'mayaBinary') # Save can't have any path, so i save... but i cannot set any path to save to.

I try save as... , and no comprehensible code gets flushed into the command line. 

I find no answer. The only thing I notice is something about a weird customizable: pv_performAction , which I don't really understand, not mentioned very often.

So, how the hell do i just save the current scene file to an .mb file in a custom path?

Thanks!

import maya.cmds as cmds
customPth = “/net/username/test/testscene.mb”
cmds.file(rename = customPth)
cmds.file(s=True,f=True, typ=”mayaBinary”)

This works for me, but remember if you trying to save a mayaAscii to mayaBinary then it may fail if it has any unknown nodes.

Also, make sure the directory you're saving to works.

Another alternative:

import pymel.core as pm

pm.saveAs('/my/awesome/path.mb', f=True)
