I made a change recently to solve this issue. As soon as I get a chance, I'll repost the script and compiled exe to the AUGI post. basically the built-in %A_ProgramFiles% in AutoHotKey is retrieving Program Files (x86) in a 64it OS instead. So I'm not using that built-in AHK parameter and specifying the folder directly.

However it cannot locate the app. It says it's looking for Revit MEP 2009 which is correct. Could it be that I am on 64-bit? I am running 64-bit revit so the folder structures are the same as a 32-bit Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569516199116206255.post-10189641445138988492008-04-09T09:28:00.000-05:002008-04-09T09:28:00.000-05:00Batch file?

You just place the app. in the same folder where your Revit workset enabled project is and then either run it from there or create a shortcut to it anywhere you desire. Then in the Target field of the shortcut, add [ detach] or [ worksets] as described in my previous comment.<BR/><BR/>Template files cannot be workset-enabled, Dave Baldacchinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00431940617680243953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569516199116206255.post-79785521845485898622008-04-09T08:08:00.000-05:002008-04-09T08:08:00.000-05:00I cant seem to get it to work, im trying to open R...I cant seem to get it to work, im trying to open Revit from a batch file and I would like it to open our template and have it be disassociated when it opens for starting new projects. <BR/><BR/>is there a way I can send you my bat file for you to look at?<BR/><BR/>Thanks<BR/>J.
