    2019 Deploying QAT

    I'm (finally) in the midst of deploying 2019 & I just realized that I really should have added the Tab Views and Tile Views icons to our QATs.
    1.) How do I get that into my Deployment in the first place.
    2.) Is there any way to push the QAT (and just the QAT) to people after the fact? Other than manually adding those?

    The QAT is saved in the UIState.dat file, located in:

    C:\Users\USERNAMEHERE\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\Rev it\Autodesk Revit 2019\ENU

    If you build the QAT you want to deploy, and push that file to the users locations at first launch, youll give them the QAT you want. Keep in mind, if you push it AFTER the fact, youll be destroying whatever QAT they already built.

    I would do this as a runonce user login task, in Px Tools, if it were me.

      Does that get deployed from the UserDataCache?

        I cant say, for sure. My UDC only has 4 distinct files in it, but i also put those files there. I dont rely on Autodesk to do it, since that one year when they were also supposed to set the Revit Server Accelerator Environment Variable from the setting in the Deployment, and they just DIDNT. That was the last time i relied on the ADSK deployment to do anything other than install software and close.

          Nope. It's created programmatically, not from a UDC seed file, on first launch, if it's not already there. If it is there (i.e. you seeded it yourself with Px Tools, user logon script, etc) then that gets used. And it's a binary file, not something non idiotic like XML. So, no way to modify it after the fact.

            This is what we do. I also edit the ResetUI batch script to copy the company standard.
