Map Categories to Worksets

When exporting to DWG we have the ability to map Revit categories to layers. If we could map categories to worksets whenever an object, wall, door, light, duct, etc. is placed into a view it would automatically be placed on the correct workset without having to first change to the correct workset, place the object then change the workset back.

I don't mean to be rude, but if you need to assign everything to a different Workset, you're using Worksets wrong.

My guess is you're using Worksets to control Visibility, and that is much better handled by View Templates and Filters.

When had a lot of Worksets when we started out, but gradually started using them less and less.

Currently, we only have a Workset for each of the Linked models so we can turn each Link off individually.

Way back when, it was necessary for Worksets to Borrow elements, and for performance purposes, but they is much less need for Worksets these days.

Thanks for taking the time to submit your idea. Unfortunately, this idea did not get the support of the community over the last 6 months and as such we will not be pursuing it at this time. Please feel free to rework (titles and clear descriptions are really important) and resubmit this one down the road.

Hi @ids_jboswell,

this idea was archived by Autodesk, but not by us ;). Your use case is exactly what we had in mind with our BetterWorkset tool. But please don't overuse workset (they are no layers like in AutoCAD). We not only support worksets by categories but also by families and types, giving you great flexibility in your workflows.

 

Have a look here and let me know what you think!
