currentdocument.name

[Sheila_Cook]

Can anyone tell me why calling objCurrentDocument.Name would bring me back the autoname string vs. just the document type name in version 13? The SDK says that autoname string is a separate call. How can I call back just the document name without having to identify it by id first?

Shiela,

First, which API are you working with?

In the Unity API, objCurrentDocument.Name is the autoname string of the document.  Documents do not have a "short" name.  If you are looking for the document type name in which the document belongs to then you will need use objCurrentDocument.Documenttype.

Hi Sheila,

In my recollection, the Name attribute of the Document object has always been the document's auto-name string.

The document type name would be objCurrentDocument.DocumentType.Name

Kind regards,
