Active Project .WDP Full File Path

[mcoH3VZV]

Hi,

I am wondering if anyone knows how to get the .WDP full File path into a string in C#.NET. ("C:\AutoCAD Home\Test Project\TEST.wdp")

I tried looking through the options on Application.DocumentManager, but cannot seem to find it. 

Any thoughts?  Thanks

you could try "findfile".

on the command line try (findfile "test.wdp").  If that works, you can use it in code.

example: (findfile "acaddoc.lsp") returns 
"C:\\program files\\autodesk\\autocad 2018\\support\\acaddoc.lsp"
to use it in code you need a try/catch.

string fpath = string.Empty;
try
{
fpath = Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices.HostApplicationServices.Current.FindFile("test.wdp", doc.Database, acdb.FindFileHint.Default);
}
catch
{ }

if (fpath != string.empty)

i am not sure it works with verticals (projects, etc.)

Perfect! Looks like findfile works great.  However, while running the updates I want, I will not know the name of the .wdp file. Is there a way to get the name of the active .wdp? From there, I can use findfile.

Thanks,
