ProjectWise - Get File ​

Retrieves a document from ProjectWise and downloads its file content to the workflow's working folder.

Purpose ​

Use this task when a workflow needs a local copy of a ProjectWise document for further processing — such as format conversion, content extraction, or publishing to another system. The task resolves the document by its identifier, fetches its metadata, downloads the file, and makes both available to downstream tasks.

Service Account ​

Requires a Bentley ProjectWise service account.

DocumentThe PWInstance object for the retrieved document, containing all WSG properties such as Name, UpdateTime, and any custom attributes.
