Hi,
I’m wondering if it is it possible to get the file name of the active Revit document automatically using dynamo without having to manually browse for it.
I currently use the FilePath.FileName node, connected to the file path browse node; but this method requires the user to manually browse for the file when opening different projects.
Thanks for any help in advance.
there is a node in node mode usineg the same API method as the one mentionned in kulkul’s reply, it gives the document name and the file path :
Nodes available OOTB …
Thanks for the assistance, all sorted now!

Hi,
I would find the node you show, where can I find it ?
hi @c.barribaud ,
I’m not maintaining node-mode anymore and I didn’t move this node to Data-Shapes. Here’s the code though if wou want it :
import clr
clr.AddReference('RevitAPI')
from Autodesk.Revit.DB import*
clr.AddReference('RevitServices')
from RevitServices.Persistence import DocumentManager
doc = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentDBDocument
path = doc.PathName
docname = path.encode('string-escape')
OUT = docname.split('\\\')[-1] , path
you can also do it with ootb nodes :
May I ask something: will you maintain the Data-Shapes package in the future? 
Absolutely! 
Absolutely wonderful! 
There was a formatting error in the text- this gets just the filename form the document path:
import clr
clr.AddReference('RevitAPI')
from Autodesk.Revit.DB import*
clr.AddReference('RevitServices')
from RevitServices.Persistence import DocumentManager
doc = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentDBDocument
path = doc.PathName
OUT = (path.split('/')[-1]).split('.')[0]The “Title” property of the Document can also be used (additional documentation here).
Note: The Document.Title property returns the title without the extension in the Revit 2019 API, although the above code would still work with the 2019 API.
I am trying to retrieve the name of the current Revit Document. I have tried two nodes, and neither seem to work.
What am I missing?
I just saw that there is an update from 2.02 to 2.03. Installed it and it now works!
It’s happen when your project file is not saved…
