Add worksharing monitor as part of the base install, and give us the options.
Worksharing monitor is a vital part of collaboration within the office. I want it to be part of the base install and have options in the Revit.ini to control whether the WM is started at the beginning of revit.exe.
Easily done with a shortcut to a .Bat file. Create a text file with. Bat extension that tells in dozens to open the worksharing and then Revit. Put the bat somewhere. Create a shortcut on your desktop pointing to that file. assign it a nice icon and name it rvt+wsm. done
That sounds like a colossal pain the butt, actually. Especially for hundreds of computers, both physical and virtual that I have to manage. A 'workaround' is exactly what I was hoping to avoid, that was my reason for asking, here in the ideas area (not in the 'I need help forums) for an easily implemented 'Option' that can be turned on when I deploy the software.
@Anonymous Thanks for the tip - I've implemented it here for a few users, but it's still only a partial solution as it doesn't help w/ pinned taskbar icons (and personally I only see my desktop when I restart).
Also, it would be nice to automatically open System Performance as well.
FYI, some other areas where Worksharing Monitor could be improved:
I agree that the WSM should be launched when Revit is launched. We created a .bat file to do this and cleanup a bit of the temp files while we're at it. But I also noticed that some departements aren't allowed to launch .bat files on their computers... IT problem. 😞
Our Workaround...
Open txt file and paste this in it. (you can change year to your version, and ENU to language of your choice)
@echo off
del /f /q /s %TMP%\*
start "" "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Revit 2018\Revit.exe" /language ENU
start "" "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Worksharing Monitor for Revit 2018\WorksharingMonitor.exe"
Save the file "Revit 2018 Start.txt" somewhere else then on your desktop
And while I try to avoid using add-ins, I just came across this one (which is a much better solution for me, since I use pinned Taskbar icons): Egan Project Startup (free).
