I don't think this is possible, but I'm curious why one would want to do such a thing.

hi,

try this code

to disable > menuItem -e -enable 0 saveItem;

to delete it from the menu > deleteUI saveAsItem.

u might also want to handle the hot key - Ctrl+S for save ...

hope this is what u want ?

or copy C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya8.5\scripts\startup\FileMenu.mel

and then edit this area with a enable comamnd

CODE
        menuItem -label (uiRes("m_FileMenu.kSave"))
            -annotation (uiRes("m_FileMenu.kSaveAnnot"))
              -en 0
            -command ("SaveScene") saveItem;
            menuItem -optionBox true
                -annotation (uiRes("m_FileMenu.kSaveOptionsAnnot"))
                -command ("SaveSceneOptions")
                saveOptions;

then save as this FileMenu.mel to

C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\My Documents\maya\8.5\scripts

it will be more usefull if u doing your project in sever based

or if you want permanantly to make it not work run.

global proc file(){}

But all this said the user CAN still save your scene! Theres no way to protect the data itself. you can make the job more tedious but not impossible. (for example its still availabe trough python and api)
