Set newly created sheet view active

Developers

I have a script that duplicates the current sheet and I’d like to have it opened at the end of the script.

I found this (Changing active view is tempoerarily disabled?) but get this error when I put a sheet view into the python code.

Thoughts?

Interesting. The post you linked uses the UIdoc but I use the UIapp. (See post here.)

Can you post your code so we can see exactly what’s going on? I’d also try using the code I provided in the link and see if that makes a difference.

Edit: Just noticed that I do get the current doc for setting the active view. I’m guessing it’s something in your code.

I used the code @Thomas_Mahon provided in that link.

You haven’t unwrapped your sheet. It’s expecting a Revit view and you’re currently providing a Dynamo sheet.

Oh, I forgot to revert back to the old code before I posted that. It didn’t work with the previous line uncommented either.

The code you provided in your post worked great… just needed to end a transaction first!

Weird. The code from Thomas’s post worked for me. Not sure why it was giving you trouble.

I’m sure it’s user error. LOL

I figured it had something to do with a View vs a Sheet (even though they’re both Views)…

By any change ,did you figured out? I am having the same problem. I am trying to change the active view to a sheet.
Thanks

Sorry - I don’t even remember this. It’s been a long few months.
