ACA API: Accessing Project Properties

Q.  Using AutoCAD Architecture, we want to take information about the Project properties (Name, Number, Description). All the examples I can find online are to create a new project file using the API. I want to read the Project properties for the currently open Project in Architecture through the API. Is there a simple way to do this? 

A.  You can use Autodesk.Aec.ProjectConfiguration class.  It allows you to access information about the project, such as the name, description, and number. Below is a simple code snippet I added to the API sample AecProjectBaseSampleMgd:

        private void Config()
        {
              
            ProjectConfiguration projConfig = proj.Configuration; // new ProjectConfiguration();

            string s = projConfig.Name + ", ";
            s += projConfig.Number + ", ";
            s += projConfig.Description;
            Print(s);
        }

For your convenience, I have attached a modified version of the sample: Download AecProjectBaseSampleMgd

To use this class, you will need to reference AecProjectBaseMgd.dll
