Ideate Automation is a scripting solution for use with Ideate Software solutions. This topic covers how Ideate Automation can be used to run Ideate StyleManager silently. Before you begin please refer to the Ideate Automation Getting Started instructions.
Automation of Ideate StyleManager is currently designed to support functions related to exporting data related to the usage of the supported styles such as Revit Object Styles, Line Styles, and Parameters. Gathering this Revit style usage data can be very time-consuming, so Ideate Automation can be used, either on-demand or via a scheduled Windows Task to let Revit un-attended, saving time and ensuring consistency.
These are the Ideate StyleManager commands that are currently supported for use with Ideate Automation scripts.
