Hello,

I am currently trying to find a solution due to several automated solutions at my company. Currently, we are generating central models from templates through journal files. With the coming of Dynamo and Revit 2019, we are looking to upgrade from our current faulty system to doing all this through Dynamo.

We already have all the journal files (.txt) created, but i am trying to figure out how to do this through Dynamo or if i need to rewrite it all in Dynamo.

Also - I am unable to upload example files due to NDA/Proprietary Information [insert scary lawyer staring down]

@BIMike

There is a package called “Dynamo automation” @Andreas_Dieckmann that deals with journal files  
He is developing his stuff on [https://github.com/andydandy74/DynamoAutomation](https://github.com/andydandy74/DynamoAutomation)  
Get in contact. I’m sure he is interested
