Quick question
Is it possible to setup a Copy/Monitor from a linked file using Dynamo/Revit API? and how?
Are you referring to this kind of workflow?
naah, I just need to setup a copy monitor on a linked file as a part of a larger âsetup modelsâ script. But thanks for the suggestion anyway. 
A screenshot of your graph would helpâŚ

Copy Monitor wonât ever be of much use to Dynamo until itâs functionality is exposed to the API. If you think this is important/useful - please vote at:

Thanks, thatâs why we have no components or I couldnât find it in the API⌠voted. 
Has Anyone used Dynamo to copy the instance parameters into copy monitored families?

Having read the previous comments and other posts, it looks like postable commands should be avoided. However, itâs 2022 and I am wondering (just checking really) if anything has been changed / added? People who set up our models from time to time forget to monitor levels and grids, and even forget to pin them. Yes, maybe these people shouldnât be doing what they do in the first place, but it is what it is. So it would be very helpful to have a script that lets you copy levels/grids from a certain model, pin them and monitor.
This is my first dynamo / pyhton script (please see image). This command âPostableCommand.CopyMonitorSelectLinkâ brings up the Copy/Monitor Tab where I have to manually select whether I wish to copy/monitor or just monitor. Has anyone got ideas how fully automate such process?

Did this actually end up working for you?
