Can pyRevit create a button that controls the pivot Center Pivot-command inside the Navigation Wheel / Steering Wheel, then we could assign a hotkey to it.
Any thoughts on that?
Can pyRevit create a button that controls the pivot Center Pivot-command inside the Navigation Wheel
When you click the button, does it add an entry in the journal, and is it a postable command?
Can you assign a keyboard shortcut from the shortcut assignment window in Revit?
When you click the button, does it add an entry in the journal, and is it a postable command?
Can you direct me to a documentation or if you can describe the steps in how I can see that in the journal, then I can return to you with an answer.
Can you assign a keyboard shortcut from the shortcut assignment window in Revit?
No
Click the button and perform any steps you want to see.
Then use the pyRevit spy button to open into folder with your journal files. Copy the most recent JournalXXX.txt to a different folder on desktop
Then download the Journal Cleaner utility from here:
Journal cleaner
place in the same folder as the journal file. It will create a cleaned journal file that only displays the lines that are “actions” from Revit

Hi JP
I downloaded Revit Journal Cleaner, but it reported an error, claiming it couldnt find any Journal Files
I copy pasted that portion that I believe is the part we are looking for. Does it tell you anything useful?

Put it in the same folder as the journal. It should make a new file next to it named *cleaned.txt that strips out all of the comments. Don’t run in the journal folder directly just copy the the journal to a new folder with the exe
Is this what you are suggesting?
if so, then it still doesn’t work. I get a popup with this message
Some journal paths could not be found successful. If you think this is an error, please contact the developer:
Mail: dante_van_wettum@hotmail.com
If there is at least 1 journal path successfully found, the application will continue
not sure why the journal cleaner not working for you but I see the section you would be looking for I think.
look around this line
’ 0:< AutoCam: Full Navigation Wheel ZONE_CENTER dragging.
I can see where you are executing the action but it doesn’t seem like this has a commandid to bind to, so keyboard shortcut for the navwheel might be closest option.
I usually just select something I want to center the orbit on and shift+middle mouse click around that selected element
