Loaded Assembly Code File and Load another file

[c_hanschen]

Hello,

There is a nice post for reading All Assembly Codes, Key and Description:

https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/revit-api-forum/how-to-get-all-assembly-codes-and-descriptions/m-p/10...

This gives the basic information for accessing the AssemblyCodeTable.

With the help of RevitLookup I found a way to read the FileName of the loaded Assembly Code File:

Dim MyAssemblyCodeTable As AssemblyCodeTable = AssemblyCodeTable.GetAssemblyCodeTable(MyDoc)
Dim MyExternalResourceReference As ExternalResourceReference = MyAssemblyCodeTable.GetExternalResourceReference(ExternalResourceTypes.BuiltInExternalResourceTypes.AssemblyCodeTable)
Dim FilePath As String = MyExternalResourceReference.InSessionPath

This works for me!

But how can I change the Assembly Code File with the Revit API? In case I want to load another file?

Thanks in Advance,

I searched the internet for over an hour to find a solution, searched the Revit Api Forum also of course, but did not found a solution. So I posted this question here!

I thought, I will give it one more internet search and found the solution, I will share it here for you all 🙂

Dim p As ModelPath = ModelPathUtils.ConvertUserVisiblePathToModelPath("C:\tabel1.txt")
Dim s = ExternalResourceReference.CreateLocalResource(MyDoc, ExternalResourceTypes.BuiltInExternalResourceTypes.AssemblyCodeTable, p, PathType.Absolute)
Dim MyKeyBasedTreeEntriesLoadResults As New KeyBasedTreeEntriesLoadResult
MyAssemblyCodeTable.LoadFrom(s, MyKeyBasedTreeEntriesLoadResults)

Good luck with this in case you need it 🙂
