'Ordinarily, you would have to download all the files, run a script on them in the AutoCAD desktop software, and then potentially upload them all back to the cloud. This is a handy way to publish thousands of drawings to DWF or PDF. The API currently works with DWG files, but private beta testing is underway for Inventor and Revit files.
The Design Automation API gives you the ability to run scripts on your design files, taking advantage of the scale of the Forge Platform to automate repetitive tasks. You can leverage Forge in the same ways that we do. Although Forge is intended for our customers and 3 rd party developers to be able to use our web services, we use Forge for our development of the cloud-based services that we offer. If you'd like to leverage that data to showcase your work to your customers, then Autodesk Forge is for you.įorge is our application program interface (API) platform and supporting materials (sample code, manuals) as well as a community of developers who uses those APIs. You've got decades of your intellectual property captured in AutoCAD drawings.
Let's say you've been an Autodesk customer for a long time.
