How to set "Pinned" to yes

[studio-a-int]

Hello -

I'm iterating through a list of selected elements and I want to Pin/UnPin them.

If I run:

PIN_STATUS = [i.Pinned for i in my_selection]

I get a list of

[true, false, true, true, ... ]

In the API the method is 

Pinned { get; set; }

But I could not make it work.

(I have the transaction started and ended before and after)

Help greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Hi @studio-a-int,

Unpinning works using this method:

Dim e As DB.Element = ...
If e.Pinned Then
       e.Pinned = False
...

So, this should work the other way...:

Dim e As DB.Element = ...
If not e.Pinned Then
       e.Pinned = True
...

Found the solution:

[Element.Pinned.SetValue(i, True) for i in my_selection]

Matt -

thanks for your reply.

As I mentioned, I found the right syntax right after posting.

And that is because, I'm using Python for initial coding work (takes a bit to translate from C# to Python).

PIN_SELECTION  = [Element.Pinned.SetValue(i, True) for i in my_selection]

or

UNPIN_SELECTION  = [Element.Pinned.SetValue(i, False) for i in my_selection]
