Is it possible to Automate Revit's Acquire co-ordinates?

Revit

It appears AquireCoordinates() was added as a method for Revit 2018 and above.

import clr
clr.AddReference('RevitAPI')
import Autodesk
from Autodesk.Revit.DB import *
import System

clr.AddReference('RevitNodes')
import Revit
clr.ImportExtensions(Revit.Elements)

clr.AddReference('RevitServices')
import RevitServices
from RevitServices.Persistence import DocumentManager
from RevitServices.Transactions import TransactionManager
doc = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentDBDocument

revitLink = UnwrapElement(IN[0])

TransactionManager.Instance.EnsureInTransaction(doc)

doc.AcquireCoordinates(revitLink.Id)

TransactionManager.Instance.TransactionTaskDone()

OUT = revitLink

I haven’t tested this but give this a try; the input would be the RevitLinkInstance you want to acquire the coordinates of. Let me know if this works
