For this reason when it comes to selecting Sheets or Views on a repetitive basis you can select required groups of sheets or views the first time and then save them as a Selection Set whereby you give the Selection Set a name accordingly. In future when you need to select the same sheets or views simply choose the previously saved Selection Set form the ribbon drop down list and those sheets or views will automatically be selected ...

Perhaps the most impressive and beneficial aspect of Xporter Pro which can save you literally hours of wasted unproductive time is the fact that you can create multiple Batch configurations for both Exporting and Printing then save them so they can be scheduled as a task to run after hours. When the scheduled task runs it will automatically open a session of Revit, open the project file, systematically start generating the export file formats and physical prints based on your settings held in the configuration files, and then close the Revit session when completed. This of course means that all of these processes can be done simultaneously by Xporter Pro after hours so that you don’t need to have your ...
