Guardian provides a custom message for many features and protections that will be displayed when the end-user performs Revit commands associated with those features and protections. This allows the Company/Project Administrator to assist the end-users in real-time by tailoring a message about best practices and/or potential risks associated with specific Revit commands. The Command Messages can be customized with rich text, images, and even links to learning resources.
Being able to provide the “Why” and the “How” to properly utilize specific Revit commands is central to Guardian as a whole. We believe communication is central to education and adoption of company best practices and standards. Thus, Command Messages allows you, the Company or Project Administrator, to create messages in your own voice and style.
Each Guardian feature that utilizes Command Messages comes pre-loaded with messages and hyperlinks to Autodesk Knowledge resources (where applicable). However, these Command Messages can be customized within the settings of each feature.
Within the message editor, the text font, size, color, style, and formatting can be customized. Hyperlinks can also be added into the message, including links for websites, email addresses, and folder locations. The desired link type can be added in the hyperlink dialog.
Images can be added by pasting the images into the message window.
Our command message dialogs are a one-size-fits-all approach, but what if you want to control the formatting of your dialogs and have a custom width?
It's a very simple fix and somewhat of a hack, but it works perfectly. The dialog width is dictated by the width of an image that is pasted into the editor. We can use this to our advantage by pasting an all-white screengrab to manipulate the width. The white rectangle only needs to be a few pixels high to achieve the desired result.
