I'm needing to save selected features in the feature tree as a library feature. I'm using code from Deepak Gupta I found here. In my main module I call the SaveAs module and pass into it features I want to select.

SaveAs_filename.main sel_feat, axis_normal, normalPlane

In SaveAs_filename.main I set my document name as sel_feat.name with extension sldflp. I don't think this module will save out to a .sldflp format the way it is currently written. I changed the extension to .sldprt and the code worked fine.

What do I need to change in order to save my selections as a .sldflp format in the background without opening the .sldflp file afterwards?
