Finding a Revit Project with DWG export settings

We made a lot of DWG export settings in a Revit Project. They forgot what Revit project that they made it in and they have 100’s of projects on their drive. Is there any way he do a search to find the project with all of his export settings?

Wouldnt it be easier to just recreate/reset/set the dwg export settings?

Problem is they don't want to recreate all the export settings. They wanted to know if somehow to do a search to find the project with their exports settings.

find the set of DWG's that was made, find the project number/name. hopefully the projects are organized on the server and that should narrow the search for the revit models.

Thank you for your suggestion. I will find out to see if this will work.

Just to give you an idea of the magnitude of that task: I have 135 archived Revit projects. Going through each one and comparing the .rvt with .dwg files will be very tedious. I sure hope there is an easier way.

Don't you store the DWGs in folders with Project name/number?

if you can find the DWG's/PDF's, you should also be able to get a date range the project was worked on and possibly who worked on it.

I don’t understand what you’re suggesting. Whereas I have 135 Revit projects to search, I have literally over a thousand .dwg files. Can you help me understand the logic in searching the .dwg files? 

 

I am hoping for a better solution.

Heya,

 

I presume you know what the settings are called? Or some other property? A lot of methods & properties are exposed in the API...

I’m a Dynamo user so I would use Dynamo... Background open the files, get their Export Settings, Filter the File where a setting == the name... Perhaps 10 nodes?

 

If you’re not comfortable with that workflow, you’ll probably spend longer getting it to work than the manual method, but it would be more fun :leicht_lächelndes_Gesicht: Here’s most of the nodes you’d need...

Hopefully that’s of interest!
