Running AutoCAD from the Cloud

mlynch — Wed, 21 Dec 2022 16:32:06 GMT

Hi,

We have recently moved all our data to MS Azure blob storage, except for Revit models, which we have in BIM 360. We still have a fair amount of work being done in AutoCAD, and it had become a significant pain point for us. What is the AutoDesk recommended manner in which to run AutoCAD from cloud storage? IS BIM 360 the answer? One of our offices, who use sheet set manager and extensive customization, found BIM 360 no real improvement over simply running DWGs from the cloud drives, which is god awful. I've seen some articles on Web-based sheet managers (https://help.autodesk.com/view/ACDLT/2023/ENU/?guid=GUID-45700EEC-B549-4879-9C8C-7C23AB54B112)

Not sure exactly what we've done in this regard, but I thought I'd ask here to see if anyone has successfully figured out how to run AutoCAD, at speed, from the cloud.

Thanks!

You can uncheck your "solution" also.
