Change Revit User Name

[Moustafa_K]

Is there an access to change the username of the document via API?

[Dale.Bartlett]

My understnding is that this property is read only.

From SDK help:

BasicFileInfo..::..Username Property 
BasicFileInfo Class 
Returns the username.
Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB
C#
public string Username { get; }

[Dale.Bartlett]

Which leads me to my next question:

How to return the Revit Username?

<code>

BasicFileInfo bfi = new BasicFileInfo();

return bfi.Username;

</code>

Is not correct: "no constructors defined"

Thanks, Dale

Hello Dale,

It looks like the only method to get an instance of BasicFileInfo is static BasicFileInfo.Extract. Please note it does not work with an open document. It takes a path of a file on disk.

I do agree the documentation for the needs BasicFileInfo class to be improved. I have created a task for the responsible development team to update the documentation. Thank you for bringing this problem to our attention.

Hi Autodesk,

Please enable setting the Application.Username property in a future release.

Thanks
