Being notified when a Revit Link hasbeen loaded

[Anonymous]

Good Morning

I am developing a Revit Addin that requires to be notified when the active view has just loaded a Revit link file.

Is there any notification mechanism in the Revit API to be registered to for such event?

Many Thanks

The Revit API provides two very basic and generic document modification notification mechanisms, the DocumentChanged event, posted after the modification has ended, and the DMU dynamic model updater framework, which can trigger a notification before it has ended and allows you to add your own changes to the same transaction, or cancel the whole thing.

You can probably implement a filter for the exact event you are interested in using either of those.

Here is more information on them:

There may be other events of interest to you as well. 

I do not see any candidates on the Document class, however:

Maybe there are some others that I missed...

Cheers,
