Automate publisher tasks?

Mats_Knutsson — Tue, 17 Sep 2024 10:57:06 GMT

Hi,

I'm looking into a Windows program that can trigger automatic publishing from Archicad solo and teamwork.

Can it be done at all from a technical point of view?

This is what I’m referring to: https://www.rtvtools.com/rtv-xporter-pro/

Best,
Mats

Hi Mats,

You can use the APIDo_PublishID function in your Add-On to publish an existing publisher set.
It's possible to start Archicad from command line and pass the project as a parameter to open it. After Archicad was started and the project was opened you can automatically execute a publishing from your Add-On if you do that as a result of an APINotify_AllInputFinished event.

I recommend you to check the new Python API. Unfortunately publishing is currently not available via Python, but we hope soon it will be.

Oh yessss, please! That would be great.
(Weren't we promised new Python API features with every update of 24?....)
