API: Close a file

    I use the method ModelDoc.SaveAs4 to rename a file.

    When I have done that, the file is somehow still "in use". How do I release
    the file?

    I have tried SldWorks.closedoc and ModelDoc.Close - but without success.

    you have to supply the part title to SldWorks.closedoc

    I use this when closing a document.

    swApp.CloseDoc (Part.GetTitle)

    I presume you are not using the Copy option. you may have to reattach to the
    active document after the SaveAs.
