Journal File uses

[Rick Houle]

Is there anything useful an end user can do with a journal file..?
Such as debug some work or rebuild some content.???
Anything.?!?

Try dragging a journal file onto the revit shortcut ;)

Please be carefull with that kind of response :-o

Dragging an old journal file to the icon could overwrite an existing project with old info. Probably better to give a fuller explaination so that inexperienced users dont bring the wrath of the office down on their heads! :mrgreen:



To answer the question, You can re-create a session of Revit - absolutely everything you did from open of Revit to close of Revit (not open of file to close of file). As mentioned above, you do drag it to the Revit icon and watch it roll...

One way this is being used is to benchmark a computer, as is done here:
