vba file information

optimumdrafting

Hi Everyone,

I am after the file name and path of the current file im working in (not the design file or reference attachements etc). Just the name of the file and path of the drawing/file that is open. I know where to find it using the interface, File > Properties. Does anyone know (and give an example) how to get this information using VBA?

Thanks

Parents

  • first retrieve the activdesingfile from the application object

    odgn As DesignFile               (Object)

    set odgn = ActiveDesignFile

    filename=odgn.fullname

    then you find the filename with  "fullname" propertiy

    Regards
