The code for successfully built document-level macros are stored in the RVT file after you save the RVT file. The project files are removed from the temporary location when you exit Revit.
In the IDE, use the following code for the method:
public
void MyFirstMacroDocCS() {Autodesk.Revit.DB.XYZ
baseVec = Document.Application.Create.NewXYZ(0.0, 0.0, 1.0); Autodesk.Revit.DB.XYZ
upVec = Document.Application.Create.NewXYZ(0.0, 0.0, 1.0); Autodesk.Revit.DB.XYZ
origin = Document.Application.Create.NewXYZ(0.0, 0.0, 0.0); Autodesk.Revit.DB.TextAlignFlags
align = Autodesk.Revit.DB.TextAlignFlags.TEF_ALIGN_LEFT | Autodesk.Revit.DB.TextAlignFlags.TEF_ALIGN_TOP; string
strText = "My First Macro, Doc level, C#!"; double
lineWidth = 4.0 / 12.0; Autodesk.Revit.DB.Transaction
t = new Autodesk.Revit.DB.Transaction(Document, "NewTextNote");t.Start();Autodesk.Revit.DB.View
pView = Document.ActiveView; Document.Create.NewTextNote(pView,
origin, baseVec, upVec, lineWidth, align, strText);t.Commit();
}
Tip: Be sure to build your project in the Revit macro IDE, before trying to run it from the Macro Manager.
For this example, when you build the project in the Revit macro IDE, also notice that you are building the DocCSharp project. Your document-level C# macro's code resides in ThisDocument.cs. You can use the IDE's Project Explorer to see its temporary location on disk.
