Run macro from another macro

carolina.machado — Tue, 10 Apr 2018 14:32:58 GMT

Hello!

I have a lot of Modules with a lot of macros in my MacroManager. It's really messy, so I want to build a Module with a Macro that will open a Menu with all the macros organized. And I want to run these macros from this Menu. I was trying to use the namespace Autodesk.Revit.DB.Macros to access the macros but I couldn't find a way to do this.

Is it possible?

Best regards,

Carolina.

I should think so. I see the macro manager class that accesses and manages the macro module class instances which manage Macro class instances which provide an Execute method, so where is the problem?

Hi @jeremytammik !

This is all I got when I try to acess the members of the mentioned namespace.

Tough luck.

I get more:

DB.Macros namespace

Cheers,

Did you try in the SharpDevelop or in another IDE?

Hi,

probably you need to include more references to dll files, I would suppose

RevitAPIMacros.dll

RevitAPIUIMacros.dll

etc.
