Get keynoteTable file location

Hi,

 

I'm struggling with a seemingly simple problem. In python, using the Revit API, I need to get the keynote table file path. 

 

I've tried using KeynoteTable.GetKeynoteTable(Document).GetExternalResourceReferences() which returns a dictionary. I can't however get the ExternalResourceReference objects, to access the property called InSessionPath. Is there a better way to do this?

 

Anyone delt with this issue before?

The clues were there in the other thread that you posted in (via the post that was linked from that)... but it was messy to decipher so...
If just getting the path to the Keynote file is actually what you're after then try:
[yourkeynotetable].GetExternalFileReference
this will return an ExternalFileReference
from that you can use:
[extfileref].GetPath and/or [extfileref].GetAbsolutePath depending on your needs.
those methods will return a ModelPath element
then you use ModelPathUtils.ConvertModelPathToUserVisiblePath([your returned model path here]) to convert the ModelPath element into a user readable string as/if required.
