Current directory of Dynamo file

1

Hi all,

I’m trying to figure out a way to get the directory of my currently open Dynamo file as a node output. The reason is, that I want to create a general method for saving Dynamo data outputs in the same folder as my Dynamo files. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to do this?

Thanks in advance!

I think @john_pierson made a node for this and there is one in the springs package… Here is another thread that asks the same question…

If your scripts are generally run from dynamo in revit then you could use a modified version of this python code.

Updated Code to get full file path:
“”"
DYNAMOAPI: GET CURRENT File Path
“”"
author = ‘Brendan Cassidy’
twitter = ‘@Brencass86’
github = ‘@brencass’
version = ‘1.0.0’
“”"
Using reflection we are able to obtain the current Dynamo instance from the Revit instance.
“”"
# we need to import the common language runtime to be able to interact with Dynamo & Revit

# Importing Reference Modules
# CLR ( Common Language Runtime Module )
import clr
# Adding the DynamoRevitDS.dll module to work with the Dynamo API
clr.AddReference('DynamoRevitDS')
import Dynamo 

# access to the current Dynamo instance and workspace
dynamoRevit = Dynamo.Applications.DynamoRevit()
currentWorkspace = dynamoRevit.RevitDynamoModel.CurrentWorkspace

OUT=currentWorkspace.FileName
