Known Issues
There are no known critical issues at this time.
This is an output-only console. It does not support input commands like Console.Read() or Console.ReadLine().
The automatic "CW" shortcut assignment (on first-time use) requires write access to the user's KeyboardShortcuts.xml file. If this file is read-only or permissions are denied, the shortcut assignment will fail silently, but the add-in will continue to function normally. The shortcut can then be assigned manually through Revit's Keyboard Shortcuts dialog.
