Desktop Connector Release Notes

A detailed description of the resolved issues and enhancements for the current release.

March 25, 2021 (v. 14.8.0.1381)

Important: Please read and understand the section BIM 360 to Autodesk Docs migration on the Frequently Asked Questions page prior to installing this update of Desktop Connector. Consider discussing this update with your IT/CAD Manager prior to updating.
Important: Once migrated, applications which have file references supported by Desktop Connector will have their reference paths to the new location fixed automatically during normal operations (ex. Opening a file from the workspace). File types which don’t have Desktop Connector reference support and are using absolute paths to maintain file references may need to have those paths resolved manually. Opening files from Recently used in applications may be broken since the path to those files has changed.
