Getting FQN of the current board file

PatrickEscher

Hello All, 

is there somehow a possibility to get the full qualified name and path of the currently open board file?

I only found some axlCurrentDesign, but this is only returning the name of the board.

 

Thanks,

Patrick

    axlGetDrawingName() => "/net/nile/home/neeti/testboards/test1.brd"

    Hi

    If you need the directory you can use getWorkingDir()

    axlCurrentDesign just the design name

    axlGetDrawingName() is the best for the combination, but those 3 should give you the most flexibility
