Copy detail elements from link

hello all ,

I want to copy details elements ( Tags , dimensions , Filled regions ) from a linked file into the host file , is there a way to do it with dynmao or python ? given that the View in the host and linked file have the same name , and the elements are identical

thank you

Hi @sabra.tarek not really sure why instead of just custom revit links view so you see them…but try something here

thank you for your reply , but the problem is i cannot see the dimensions so i can copy them , i tried to summarize the problem in the attached image

yeah you actuelly dont need to pick or see them, but if you wanna see them on link then set your link display as show as link view…but here i dont see them and seems to work as well

Happy it could help :wink: but i dont recommend that workflow with annotate in different models :wink:

Thanks for the advice, but why you dont recommend it? or which workflow do you recommend

IMO its best only annotate in one model…when its same dicipline, guess its give better control…but just me maybe :wink: :wink:

sorry i have one last question does this dynmao script works also with Tags ? because i tried to copy Tags and get the result null as in the image attached. sorry again

yeah sure…that could probably be another situation, and will probably not so easy as we think…in this setup…i will take a look later :wink:
