Run macro on Synchronize with Central

Hi Forum

I have made a project macro, and would like to run it when Synchronizing.

We have an AddIn, where it works great, but i can't figure out how, to achive the same functionallity in a macro.

I've managed to create an event for Saving the Document - but would really like to do some other when synchronizing.

My code below builds fine - but it dosn't run the Sync-event.

using System; using Autodesk.Revit.UI; using Autodesk.Revit.ApplicationServices; using Autodesk.Revit.DB; using Autodesk.Revit.UI.Selection; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; namespace RoomNdArea { [Autodesk.Revit.Attributes.Transaction(Autodesk.Revit.Attributes.TransactionMode.Manual)] [Autodesk.Revit.DB.Macros.AddInId("0158DC3D-D3E0-41DB-A020-338B0F039E6F")] public partial class ThisDocument { private void Module_Startup(object sender, EventArgs e) { ReferenceLevel(); OnStartup(); } private void Module_Shutdown(object sender, EventArgs e) { this.Document.DocumentSaved -= SavedDocument; OnShutdown(); } #region Revit Macros generated code private void InternalStartup() { this.Startup += new System.EventHandler(Module_Startup); this.Shutdown += new System.EventHandler(Module_Shutdown); this.Document.DocumentSaved += new EventHandler<Autodesk.Revit.DB.Events.DocumentSavedEventArgs>(SavedDocument); } #endregion public void ReferenceLevel() { Document doc = this.Application.ActiveUIDocument.Document; FilteredElementCollector rooms = new FilteredElementCollector(doc).OfCategory(BuiltInCategory.OST_Rooms); int r = rooms.ToElements().Count; Transaction t = new Transaction(doc, "ReferenceLevel"); t.Start(); foreach (Element room in rooms.ToElements()) { string sVal = room.get_Parameter(BuiltInParameter.LEVEL_NAME).AsString(); string newVal = sVal.Remove(0,sVal.Length - 2); Parameter p = room.LookupParameter("ZoneName"); p.Set(newVal); } t.Commit(); TaskDialog.Show("TEST",r + " Rooms in this model"); } private void SavedDocument(object sender, EventArgs e){ TaskDialog.Show("TEST","SAVED"); } public class Sync : IExternalApplication{ public Result OnStartup(Autodesk.Revit.UI.UIControlledApplication application) { application.ControlledApplication.DocumentSynchronizingWithCentral += new EventHandler<Autodesk.Revit.DB.Events.DocumentSynchronizingWithCentralEventArgs>(application_ControlledApplication_DocumentSynchronizingWithCentral); return Result.Succeeded; } public Result OnShutdown(Autodesk.Revit.UI.UIControlledApplication application) { application.ControlledApplication.DocumentSynchronizingWithCentral -= application_ControlledApplication_DocumentSynchronizingWithCentral; return Result.Succeeded; } public void application_ControlledApplication_DocumentSynchronizingWithCentral(object sender, Autodesk.Revit.DB.Events.DocumentSynchronizingWithCentralEventArgs args){ TaskDialog.Show("SYNC","SyncToCentral"); } } } }

Best regards

I don't see the complication here?

If you want to set up an event in a macro module that runs a macro in a different module then perhaps explore what is possible with the MacroManager API object. Otherwise below test works fine for pre-synchronization event:

Imports System Imports Autodesk.Revit.UI Imports Autodesk.Revit.DB Imports Autodesk.Revit.UI.Selection Imports System.Collections.Generic Imports System.Linq <Autodesk.Revit.Attributes.Transaction(Autodesk.Revit.Attributes.TransactionMode.Manual)> _ <Autodesk.Revit.DB.Macros.AddInId("9C3FB51E-D218-4F59-90DB-93ED44B3DE2E")> _ Partial Public Class ThisDocument Private Sub Module_Startup(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Startup TaskDialog.Show("Open","XX") AddHandler Me.Application.Application.DocumentSynchronizingWithCentral, AddressOf Test1 End Sub Private Sub Module_Shutdown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Shutdown RemoveHandler Me.Application.Application.DocumentSynchronizingWithCentral, AddressOf Test1 End Sub Public Sub Test1(s As Object, e As Autodesk.Revit.DB.Events.DocumentSynchronizingWithCentralEventArgs) Dim TD As New TaskDialog("Event") TD.MainContent ="Sync ?" TD.CommonButtons = CType( TaskDialogCommonButtons.Ok + TaskDialogCommonButtons.Cancel, TaskDialogCommonButtons) Dim res As TaskDialogResult = TD.Show If res = TaskDialogResult.Cancel Then e.Cancel End If End Sub End Class

Thanks for your reply.
I forgot to write that it should preferably be in C# - but your code works!
I have had some help to read- and translate it, so that my own code has become the following:

#region Revit Macros generated code private void InternalStartup() { this.Startup += new System.EventHandler(Module_Startup); this.Shutdown += new System.EventHandler(Module_Shutdown); this.Application.Application.DocumentSynchronizingWithCentral += SyncingEvent; } #endregion public void SyncingEvent(object s, Autodesk.Revit.DB.Events.DocumentSynchronizingWithCentralEventArgs e) { TaskDialog.Show("Test", "Sync"); }
