Syntax

C#

public static ICollection<WorksetId> CheckoutWorksets(
	Document document,
	ICollection<WorksetId> worksetsToCheckout
)

Parameters

document Document: The document containing the worksets.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentException	document is not a workshared document. -or- document is not a primary document, it is a linked document. -or- document is read-only: It cannot be modified. -or- document has an open editing transaction and is accepting changes. -or- There are one or more ids with no corresponding workset. -or- Saving is not allowed in the current application mode.
ArgumentNullException	A non-optional argument was null
CentralFileCommunicationException	The file-based central model could not be reached, e.g. the network is down or the file server is down.
CentralModelAccessDeniedException	Access to the central model was denied due to lack of access privileges. -or- Access to the central model was denied. A possible reason is because the model was under maintenance.
CentralModelContentionException	The central model are locked by another client.
CentralModelException	The central model is overwritten by other user. -or- The central model is missing. -or- An internal error happened on the central model, please contact the server administrator.
CentralModelVersionArchivedException	Last central version merged into the local model has been archived in the central model. This exception could only be thrown from cloud models.
InvalidOperationException	Operation is not permitted when there is any open sub-transaction, transaction, or transaction group.
RevitServerCommunicationException	The server-based central model could not be accessed because of a network communication error.
RevitServerInternalException	An internal error happened on the server, please contact the server administrator.

Remarks

For best performance, check out all worksets in one big call, rather than many small calls.

When there comes a contention error when locking the central model, this API would wait and retry endlessly until getting the lock of the central model.

Example

C#

void CheckoutAllViewWorksets(Document doc)
{
    FilteredWorksetCollector collector = new FilteredWorksetCollector(doc);

    // find all view worksets
    collector.OfKind(WorksetKind.ViewWorkset);
    ICollection<WorksetId> viewworksets = collector.ToWorksetIds();
    ICollection<WorksetId> checkoutworksets = WorksharingUtils.CheckoutWorksets(doc, viewworksets);
    TaskDialog.Show("Checked out worksets", "Number of worksets checked out: " + checkoutworksets.Count);
}

VB

Private Sub CheckoutAllViewWorksets(doc As Document)
    Dim collector As New FilteredWorksetCollector(doc)

    ' find all view worksets
    collector.OfKind(WorksetKind.ViewWorkset)
    Dim viewworksets As ICollection(Of WorksetId) = collector.ToWorksetIds()
    Dim checkoutworksets As ICollection(Of WorksetId) = WorksharingUtils.CheckoutWorksets(doc, viewworksets)
    TaskDialog.Show("Checked out worksets", "Number of worksets checked out: " + checkoutworksets.Count)
End Sub
