Unlike Model#save or Model#save_copy, unfortunately the Ruby API does not allow me to give a second parameter - version - for Definition.#save_as.
And UI.savepanel have it's limitation too...

...Therefore I got stuck here for now with "versionig". I need more time to figure out workaround, if any.

Hi Lego! I encountered this limitation too! Try to add a *2.54 after LenX. This converts the LenX value (returned in inches) to cm!

have you tried
Texture Resizer?

Hi & thanks for your comments.

I'm running SU8 on windows 7/64bit.Both the work file .skp & .skb backup sit on my local desktop. I copied them there to avoid the autosave over the server but the 0.skp swap files are still being tried to save on the server, e.g. material library. Whenever my PC is stuck in autosave back to server I cut the VPN, a 0.skp warning appears and save manually.

Attached a screenshot of preferences > files. All linkes used to point to the server so I just changed models and export to the desktop - do you think that would help?

I have the same request...any solution?

Yes, I also meant what Chris says.
