Revit Addin - Vault Connection

[connor.ferguson]

We have a Revit addin that connects to Vault. Currently this is done by our own command that gets the user to login to Vault but it would be better if from our addin we could get the existing Vault Connection used by the standard Revit Vault addin. Is this possible? It can be done with Inventor but can't find a way with Revit.

I am not aware of any such possibility. However, i have asked the Revit development team for you and will let you know what I find out.

Hi Jeremy, Any update on this?

[jeremytammik]

Dear Connor, thank you for the prompt. Sorry, no reply from them yet. I'm retrying in a different and hopefully more appropriate internal slack channel... stay tuned...

O Caminho que você se refere é por .NET ? Atualmente.

[jeremytammik]

Yes, the Revit API is purely .NET.

Take a look at the documentation in Autodesk.Datamanagement.Client.FrameWork.Vault.Library.ConnectionManager. There is a method called "GetExistingConnection". You should be able to use this to retrieve the existing Vault connection.

this is valid if you are into a Vault add-in.

the question is: is possible to access Vault connection from a Revit add-in?

Inventor expose this by the Connectivity.InventorAddin.EdmAddin dll present in :\Program Files\Autodesk\Inventor 2022\Bin\: there is an equivalent for Revit?

Hi Christian, i wasn't able to find an equivalent so i added the ability to log in to Vault through my revit addin, independant of the Vault Ribbon
