Possible to do an external command (non-Pyrevit) through pyrevit? for example, run an ideate addin after executing the pyrevit code.
- Launch the command in the Revit UI
- Look at the end of the journal file
- you will find something like
Execute external command
and what is following between the two:
can be taken to replace the string in the last line of the following sample
# encoding: utf-8
from pyrevit import HOST_APP, UI
uiapp = HOST_APP.uiapp
uiapp.PostCommand(UI.RevitCommandId.LookupCommandId("CustomCtrl_%CustomCtrl_%CustomCtrl_%Add-Ins%Revit Lookup%Options%RevitLookup.Commands.SnoopActiveViewCommand"))
for Reference, read the following https://jeremytammik.github.io/tbc/a/1040_postcommand.htm
and see code samples in C# here
GitHub - jeremytammik/PostAddinCommand: Test programmatic posting of an external command defined by a custom Revit add-in.
@Jean-Marc - does this not work for addins loaded outside of the “Addins” tab? - having issues with any other kind of addins
in my tests yes, it did work
mind sharing one of the tests you did that isn’t pointed to the addins?
i believe it would be a formatting error for me
this
# encoding: utf-8
from pyrevit import HOST_APP, UI
uiapp = HOST_APP.uiapp
uiapp.PostCommand(UI.RevitCommandId.LookupCommandId("CustomCtrl_%CustomCtrl_%DiRootsOne%Data IO%SheetLink"))
Hello,
Is this the same thing to launch Revit command ? Like in the following journal for example ?
'E 08-Mar-2023 13:24:20.300; 0:<
Jrn.Command "Ribbon" , "Gère les positions du projet , ID_GEO_MANAGE_LOCATIONS"
' 0:< Unnecessary nesting;ArrowUI_4;-1;ID_GEO_MANAGE_LOCATIONS ;N++EB(NB);

No, a Revit builtin command is a PostableCommand
Example
and doc ApiDocs.co
there is the PostableCommand enumeration
try the <> at the top right of the page for samples
