During the normal course of performing operations in Revit various Dialog boxes can result which require a response in order to dismiss the dialog box and proceed with intended operations. The same thing will inevitably occur when Xporter Pro runs Scheduled Tasks and for this reason we recommend that you leave the option to automatically close Revit dialogs during scheduled tasks turned on (default).  Doing so will therefore dismiss any occurring dialog boxes allowing the process to run it’s course.  If you turn this option off then your scheduled task may be prevented from completing during the intended after hours period if a dialog box occurs which requires manual input to proceed. To Access the Task Dialog Settings click the ...

Important: From Xporter Pro 2018 and future releases the Remote Server functionality has now been replaced with the newer RTV Scheduler interface instead.  Users with Xporter Pro 2017 or older versions will still need to use the Remote Server GUI interface as outlined below.

This will display the Xporter pro Remote window instead of the full Xporter Pro user interface whereby you will see only the settings and options required to set up a Remote task configuration. In order to do this you must have already generated all the necessary .xml configuration files via the main user interface such as ...

If you select the Define Reference Projects to Load option it will launch the Issue Reference Projects ...

For very large Revit projects it can take excessive amounts of unproductive time waiting for them to open when you first launch them so for that reason Xporter pro now has a Project Wakeup function to remove that wasted time. The Wakeup function allows you to define specific Revit projects which you know have long load times top open files and create a Scheduled task which you can set to run before you arrive at the office so that the file is already open when you get in. You can access the Wakeup function from the RTV Tools tab of the Revit Ribbon as shown below without having Xporter Pro open, or you can also access it from the Xporter ...
