Description

Saves the MapDocument that is Open and any changes that have been made to it to a new MapDocument with the specified filename. The filename that is supplied must be valid and inlcude the *.mxd extension. By default MapDocuments are saved without relative paths and thumbnails.

Specifying thumbnails as True can delay saving complex map documents as the view of the document is generated for the thumbnail. However, thumbnails are guides for users browsing map documents using ArcCatalog and Windows Explorer.

Remarks

The SaveAs method cannot be used to save the MapDocument as an earlier ArcGIS 8.3 map document.
