File Management and Cloud Sync for Project Navigator - Labs release

[bagchis]

The AutoCAD team is excited to announce the release of a new Labs plug-in - "Cloud Sync for AutoCAD Architecture/MEP". Similar to the Check-In/Check-Out capability offered by Microsoft SharePoint, this plug-in enhances the existing Project Navigator feature in AutoCAD Architecture/MEP to provide drawing Check-In/Check-Out capabilities. This will work not only with DWG files stored on the local directory, but also with files stored on Online Cloud Storage services such as A360, Dropbox, Google Drive etc.

A preview video of the plug-in is available here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bK3wXP_dRzE&feature=youtu.be

To download the plug-in and for more information, please check out the Labs page http://labs.autodesk.com/utilities/acad_cloud_sync

We look forward to hearing your feedback.

This post should probably be removed as the software is no longer available on the Labs website.

Hi Keith,

Where can I download this feature?

You tested it? What is your opinion?

Hi Vitaly,

I havent tested this feature.  I no longer work in AutoCAD MEP in a production environment but instead work as a .net developer for AutoCAD.  I know for sure that this is integrated into AutoCAD MEP 2016 so there is no download necessary.  I am unsure about AutoCAD MEP 2015 and pretty sure that it is not available for versions prior to 2015.

You can see this article on how to use if you own 2016.

Hopefully this helps.
