Is there a way to reference the Global Parameter file associated with an assembly?

[albie0803]

In an assembly, if you click on global parameters, the associated file is listed in the field towards the bottom of the window. Is there a way to get that file and path name to use in a script?

When I do a Save all as, the GP file is included so hopefully there is something like:

GP = assembly.getglobalparameters.filename

If not then there needs to be.

Please!

OR

Can I simply access a GP because it is listed as a parameter for the assembly file?
(I can't try it out until I get in to work tomorrow)

Maybe this will help:

import os
Win = Windows()
FileName = Win.OpenFileDialog('Select a GlobalParameter file', 'GLP Files|*.AD_GLP', '.AD_GLP')
head, tail = os.path.split(FileName)
Test=GlobalParameters(head,tail)
n = len(Test.Parameters)
for i in range(n):
 P_Name = str(Test.Parameters[i])
 Wert = Test.GetParameter(P_Name)
 print P_Name,Wert.Value,Wert.Units

I don't see support for this in the Alibre Design API. Please submit a request to support. Andy

@idslk - Thanks for the coding snippet, I have incorporated the first half into my script.

@ajayre - Done!
