Switches in shortcuts to force detach from central?

[dbaldacchino]

Hi all,

Does anyone know if there are any switches that one can use when creating a shortcut to a Revit project to force the file to detach from central automatically? Or perhaps to force the workset dialog to open so the user can select what worksets to open?

I don't think this is supported but it doesn't hurt to ask. Thanks!

I don't know of anyway to do that Dave. Sorry. I wonder if it could be achieved with the API though?... If I find anything I'll let you know.

Thanks James, might be a low-priority wishlist item.

I actually figured a way to create a journal on the fly and use it to fire up Revit and open the workset dialog (using AutoHotKey). The only hitch is that if Revit is already running, I would like to use that session rather than opening a new one, but I cannot figure a way to run a journal in an already open session of Revit. It doesn't seem possible without using the API. But at least I have a way of getting pretty close.
