@Yna_Db : Thanks for reply but to simply explain it : I want to open current project or family location in Windows explore where the file (RVT,RFA or linked CAD file) is saved.

Do you mean like a “Save as” dialog?

No; just to open where it’s located, like this:

Something might be doable:

You can get the document path with this method…

And use the subprocess.Popen() for explorer (as in @Yna_Db second link) with the path gotten from the document.
