Autodesk.Revit.DB DocumentVersion
Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB
Assembly: RevitAPI (in RevitAPI.dll) Version: 25.3.0.0 (25.3.0.0)
Syntax The DocumentVersion type exposes the following members.
Properties | Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | IsValidObject | Specifies whether the .NET object represents a valid Revit entity. |
| | NumberOfSaves | The number of times the document has been saved. The save number and GUID are both necessary to uniquely identify a document version. |
| | VersionGUID | The GUID portion of the DocumentVersion. The GUID is updated when changes are made to the document, but may not update with every change to the document. The GUID and save number are both necessary to uniquely identify a document version. |
Methods | Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | Dispose | Releases all resources used by the DocumentVersion |
| | Equals | Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object ) |
| | GetHashCode | Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object ) |
| | GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object ) |
| | IsEqual | Checks whether two DocumentVersions are identical. They are identical if both the GUID and number of saves are equal. If two DocumentVersions are identical, they come from the same document, with the same set of changes. |
| | ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object ) |
Remarks DocumentVersion consists of two parts - a GUID and an integer. The GUID is updated as new elements are created in the document, but it is not necessarily changed whenever any individual change is made to the document. The integer is updated when the document is saved.
The GUID will change as changes are made to a model, so it should not be treated as a static value.
This class does not contain any time information - you cannot compare two DocumentVersions and know which document is newer. It can be used to tell whether a document has changed since it was last inspected. See [!:Autodesk::Revit::DB::BasicFileInfo::GetDocumentVersion()]
