Active document path location vb.net

[Anonymous]

Hi, 

I need to get the active file location, but I can only retrive a files entire location and name with the following code...

Dim inventorApp As Inventor.Application
inventorApp = GetObject(, "Inventor.Application")
MsgBox(inventorApp.ActiveDocument.FullFileName)

How can I do this, also is it possible to check if that document has been saved first?

SO use string concatenation to make it how you want it.

Google "Msdn + vb.net + string operations" and look around at InStr and InStrRev and Right And Left and Mid.

Also, search File.Exists operations through the same website.

The FullFileName property will return an empty string if the file hasn't been saved yet.  There are also some great functions in the System.IO.Path library provided by .Net.  The following code demonstrates both of these ideas.

If doc.FullFileName = "" Then
    MsgBox("The file has not been saved.")
Else
    Dim path As String = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(doc.FullFileName)
    MsgBox "The folder of the active document is: " & path
End If

In the example above if doc.FullFileName is "C:\Users\Brian\Files\Part1.ipt", the variable path will be "C:\Users\Brian\Files".
