pixel8er Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Hi all How do you automatically customise all the options settings? See image. I would like them to be set at startup. In AutoCAD I would use lisp and set in the acad.lsp and acaddoc.lsp. What's the process in Revit? Thanks Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobDraw Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Once you set them, they should stay. Why do you need to keep resetting them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixel8er Posted March 23, 2016 Author Share Posted March 23, 2016 Once you set them, they should stay. Why do you need to keep resetting them? To make sure they stay set. I think the Revit.ini is what I want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobDraw Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 IMHO, that is overkill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halam Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 All projects have different templates . You can access Revit.ini at C:\Users\..\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\Revit\Autodesk Revit 201..\ make you're own. use notepadd++ is what i would do [DirectoriesENU] FamilyTemplatePath=D:\_Revit\templates DefaultTemplate=Construction Template=...

RobDraw Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 All projects have different templates . If that were true, then there would be no need for templates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halam Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 You're wright! Who needs templates? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixel8er Posted March 25, 2016 Author Share Posted March 25, 2016 IMHO, that is overkill. I think it depends on the situation. It's standard practise for some I've spoken to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobDraw Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 I think it depends on the situation. It's standard practise for some I've spoken to. So somehow the settings are getting changed and you need to ensure that they return to the proper settings. How are they getting changed?

pixel8er Posted March 25, 2016 Author Share Posted March 25, 2016 How are they getting changed? The main way is by the user But I've also had times when the server gets re-booted and the paths get re-set from network to local. It doesn't really matter. I don't want any possibility of them being changed, there is too many users to keep track of, in offices in different cities. From my employers point of view it's risk management.

RobDraw Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 That makes sense. I didn't consider a multi-office environment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
