Tagging Linked Elements

[Mark.Ackerley]

Hi,

I would like to reassociate dropped tags, to begin I am trying to grab tags in the active view.

I am using the clockwork node ‘All View-Dependent Family Instances Of Category’.

It works for everything when the tagged elements are in the current file.

But I get nulls when tagging an element in a linked file that isn’t a Room

There aren’t many nodes for selecting annotation categories and I’ve not found a python solution.

I’m getting nulls both in 1.3 and 2.01

Would anyone be able to help?

Cheers,

Mark

Have a look in the code behind the node my guess is that the document is chosen inside a python script in there, this need to be e.g. the linked document instead

Hey,

Thanks,

The odd thing is that the tags themselves are in the current file, so the code doesn’t (/shouldn’t need to) look at the link at all.

Room Tags are collected whether or not the room are in a linked file (I believe Rooms have special properties compared to other elements).

Presumably the collector is filtering the other types of tags so perhaps there is a solution in a different collector, but I can’t see it in the API docs…

Here is the code…
