Frequently used subfolders

[Anonymous]

Is there a way to get the list of frequently used subfolders from the API?
I can get the Workspace and the Libraries, but can not find anything in API help or in this forum on how to list the frequently used subfolders...
Yes, I am designing my own save as dialog 🙂

I'm not sure what you mean by "frequently used subfolders". Where in
Inventor's user-interface does a list like this show up?

You specify frequently used subfolders in the project file, they show up in the "Places" (the blue area in the upper left corner) in save and open dialogs. It is like short cuts to your frequently used subfolders 🙂

Thanks for the explanation, I understand now. Sorry but these are not
currently exposed through the API. As a workaround you can get the project
file using the FileLocations.FileLocationsFile property and open and read
it. It's in xml format and not difficult to figure out. The downside to
this is that it is more work and there's no guarantee the format will remain
the same from release to release.

Thanks, Brian.
Are there any plans for this in future releases?

It's not currently scheduled but is something we should do in the future.
