Hi @dustinbagley. This is an odd question. Files and documents are two different things. A file is what gets saved to a hard drive, with a file address. A document is basically just a reference to the organized data being held in Inventor's session memory, which may have been at least partially read from a file, or created within the software, and has not been saved as a File to the hard drive yet. A Document object has a ReadOnly property named File, which will return Inventor's version of a File object. That Inventor File object then has a Read/Write property named FullFileName, where you can only 'set' its value when that File has not been saved yet. Once the Document/File has been saved, that either creates or updates the File on the hard drive, but leaves the Document open in Inventor's session memory, until you Close it.
