How to create shortcut for Revit Schedule export. We have attached a snap for youre rerefence. We have created the shortcut but not work .Thanks in advance.

Hello - I see what you are saying, the shortcut does not work.

What I am seeing is that when I try the shortcut - it is trying to fill in one of the fields with what I type.

Not sure you will be able to actually get it working.

Thanks for your response.

Our main intention is to create a short cut command for the marked one portion in the snap. Mainly we can create a shortcut command for schedule export in csv format.
Without using shortcut we have to follow the mentioned steps:

1. Go to the specific schedule which is required to export
2. Then go to Application menu "R" > Export > Reports >Schedule
3. After we can save the schedule in csv format.

Hello RNDPIS - at this time I have no other suggestions, other then doing it through the application menu as you have stated.

No one else has responded - so I do no think there is another viable way.

@ the OP :

If I understand correctly, that tool exports schedules as .txt extension, only. A simple shortcut is not going to save you the step to save the .txt as .csv. You may need to do that in Excel or a text editor, anyway. Probably you don't need a shortcut but a macro.

Thanks for the response. Mainly we need to create a shortcut for schedule export in csv format as we press WA shortcut for wall creation (for example).

Thanks in advance!

Not possible as a shortcut. The tool does not even save in that .csv format, so you will need to do some additional clicks in another program anyway. You need something more advanced than a simple shortcut abbreviation.

@Alfredo_Medina Is there any way to export schedule as .txt file using shortcut??? 

[Sahay_R]

@pratikB3DKV  - open a schedule. 

Then File>>Export>>Reports>>Schedule

You will be able to save it to a Delimited Text (.txt) file

Quite an old post, but I found this helpfull video..

Schedules don’t really like shortcuts as it wants you to fill in info into a cell even if a non-editable cell has been selected.

what I can recommend is to rather use DiRootsOne plugin and the Sheetlink feature as this will allow the export of single/ multiple schedules. FYI, its free

@BIMAbhi, @lukas.pragt answer is kind of a solution. You should mark it as such!
