Muy buen trabajo..... me podrías indicar si esto permite bajar todos los correos de un proyecto en aconex? y si quiero bajar todos los documentos cargados... cual código me puede ayudar...
desde ya muchas gracias.

hi..... in line 396 and 397 have two EXE files.... please share to my... ?

hey, afraid this was done a long time ago, so I don't really remember the details (and Aconex already had much better ways of doing this, just they were disabled on my project so I was working around those limitations). The .exe files were compiled C# files - which are the other gists on the page. If I remember correctly it was the easiest way to run a C# script from python, which is what Aconex had provided documentation for. A bit more detail is here https://davidjohnhewlett.co.uk/?p=458.

Sorry not to be more helpful, but I'm a structural engineer rather than a developer - so I basically make code until it works for my purpose, rather than it being any good!
