How to add your knowledge
Table of contents
No headersThe Revit.ini file is located in the %APPDATA%\Autodesk\Revit\<product name and release> folder. It contains settings that define variables, paths, recent files and other settings for the Revit software.
Many settings do not appear in Revit.ini until their default value changes. For other settings, you can add them to Revit.ini to cause a certain behavior.
If you modify the Revit.ini file, you must exit and restart Revit to see the change in the software.
ImportantAlways make a backup copy of Revit.ini before making any modifications. There may be interdependencies of which you may be unaware, that can affect Revit.
If you are deploying Revit to multiple computers, you can configure a Revit.ini file with the desired settings, and include this Revit.ini file in the deployment. For an example and instructions, see How do I create deployments for different disciplines?
The Revit.ini file is divided into sections. See the following pages for descriptions of the settings defined in each section. For a list of these settings, see the spreadsheet file attached to the bottom of this page.

AllowPressAndDrag=1 (on) - Hi hermeytheelf - Absolutely! Please feel free to click Edit Page > Edit Content at the top of the page to add to or edit the content. Thanks for contributing. - Karen Smith, Autodesk Revit User Assistance team
- There's a section in the Revit.ini file called "Recent Workset List" with a few keys for "Config1", "Config2" and so forth. The value for all of these is "All". There's also a key named "Custom" with a value containing a comma delimited list of GUIDs. What is this section for? Does it somehow contain the list of "Last Viewed" worksets for a project?
- Eric, please see these new topics: Recent Files List, Recent Workset List. Please let me know if you need more information.
-- Patty Gale, Autodesk Revit User Assistance Team - Patty, that's great! Thank you.
