    Hi Nicholas, the reason for the different journal is because the option to specify worksets as specified through the older journal doesn't work anymore in Revit 2011 x64 (not sure about 32 bit). The behavior is exactly the same as in 2009 x64 (it actually works in 32 bit) where you end up with a detached copy instead, which is unacceptable. David Kingham contributed the journal snippet and I used that instead since it works. The only difference is that the model is opened with all workets closed and then the dialog pops up and asks you which ones you want to open. My older version worked similar to what Revit's behavior is, where it asks you right away what worksets you want open before it does anything,

    Following up on the use of a journal file to launch Revit 2011 - have you found ( as David Kingham mentions here http://forums.augi.com/showpost.php?...5&postcount=48 ) that addins (including specifically Worksharing Monitor) don't load when you open a Revit file using a journal file? It seems from your code that you are both using the same journal file I am using.

    Thanks for the quick followup! Gotta love AUGI.

    Hi there! I have honestly not used the script that much since changing jobs and we were not using the Worksharing monitor that much before so I never came across the problem. As David Kingham replied in another post, he has made major changes to his journal files because of this. When I get a chance I'll test and make any necessary changes.

    What do you use in place of the script? Do you use the built in local file creation feature or something else?

    I haven't worked on a workshared project since starting at my new firm. I'm sure we'll eventually start using it once we move on to standardize certain things.

    Yeah, I've followed David Kingham's lead on that and changed over to not use a journal file for the reasons he discusses. When NOT using a journal file, all addins are properly loaded. Thanks for the feedback!

    Hi,

    I will like to know if the script will work in Revit 2012.

    Thanks

    In theory it should. Just edit the ini file to supply the correct paths and give it a shot. I have not tested on 2012 as we're not using it here. Plus with Revit Server, this type of workflow is pretty much obsolete.

    I actually tried it on a 2012 test file yesterday. In the ini file simply adding the additional lines for 2012 products worked great. The only observed problem is the warning dialog box for the file being moved will not automatically close. You have to manually push the button.... Until we get Revit Server working, this is a great utility to keep everyone's hands off the Central file.

    FYI Dave they changed the dialog from 'Copied Central File' to 'Copied Central Model' if you want to update it for the masses I need to update mine too...
