Hi Tobias

here is how to do it:

import Grasshopper as gh
import os

if active:
canvas_doc = ghenv.Component.OnPingDocument()
old_path = canvas_doc.FilePath
canvas_doc.FilePath = os.path.expandvars("%userprofile%\desktop\save_me.gh")
try:
if canvas_doc:
gh.Kernel.GH_DocumentIO(canvas_doc).Save()
finally:
canvas_doc.FilePath = old_path

import Rhino

if active:
options = Rhino.FileIO.FileWriteOptions()
options.SuppressDialogBoxes = True
Rhino.RhinoDoc.ActiveDoc.WriteFile(
os.path.expandvars("%userprofile%\desktop\save_me.3dm"), options)
