Ability to select printers and print from the API.

Ideally this would include the opening and printing of other projects somehow. Including the ability to trigger a workset update before printing etc.

You can do that via a journal now...

Is it possible to run journal type scripts from within the API.

If it is not (as I suspect the case to be) please raise this as a request for future releases.

We can do a lot already with the journal scripts however, it is a pain having to exit Revit and drag and drop the script file to relaunch the program.

If we could run the scripts inside Revit as a series of macro commands this would be a great help.

I suspect, most users want to use the API for simple functionality and the fact that we can use the journal file to generate scripts which we can further refine in a script editor lets us automate many tedious boring tasks.

Please use your best efforts to secure this useful added functionality.
