Run Dynamo Script from file path

Dynamo Player

Hi All

I am seeking help from the community as I have created an input form with the help of data-shapes UI nodes and would like to run another script from the file path after clicking the submit button in the form.

I am looking forward to hearing soon.

Best
Ravi

Hi @Draxl_Andreas

Thanks for your response
Please find the attached dynamo script.

Please do the needful.

Going to need dynamo api to do that I’d say - beyond my knowledge. If youre at the point of needing scripts to run scripts then definitely sounds like it is time to look into more advanced solutions like pyrevit or C# to develop toolkits.

Generally more polite to let the forum assist with these willingly vs tag the regulars onto your threads.

I recommend you don’t over complicate it.

Take the second graph and convert it into a custom node with a static input to prevent execution until the first portion of the graph finishes.

Perhaps the Dynamo Command Line Interface might help you:

No problems. Generally we don’t mind being tagged that much, I think it is just better to include the wider forum in the people the post is visually open to :slight_smile:

In the case you need run in backgound and intergrate with add-in, with temppath is your dynamo script:

DynamoRevit dynamoRevit = new DynamoRevit();

                IDictionary<string, string> journalData = new Dictionary<string, string>
                {
                    {JournalKeys.ShowUiKey, false.ToString()},
                    {JournalKeys.AutomationModeKey, true.ToString()},
                    {JournalKeys.DynPathKey, temppath},
                    {JournalKeys.DynPathExecuteKey, true.ToString()},
                    {JournalKeys.ForceManualRunKey, false.ToString()},
                    {JournalKeys.ModelShutDownKey, true.ToString()},
                    {JournalKeys.ModelNodesInfo, false.ToString()},
                };
                DynamoRevitCommandData dynamoRevitCommandData = new DynamoRevitCommandData
                {
                    Application = commandData.Application,
                    JournalData = journalData
                    
                };
                Result result = dynamoRevit.ExecuteCommand(dynamoRevitCommandData);

@chuongmep that’s actually quite cool! I am not really sure what I might use it for, but why not :slight_smile:

Hi Jacob! I did you recommendation, however I don’t know what you mean by static input?

For my case I used Thread.Pause node and gave every chunk of the script its own waiting time in milliseconds, but I still have a persisting problem. Here is the link of my post:
