New job, new Autodesk ID, access old history?

pdent — Wed, 01 Oct 2025 00:25:34 GMT

I figure people change jobs all the time, and with it get new Autodesk IDs. Is there any way to maintain continuity in this forum when this occurs? I don't really care about my "badges" and all that, but I would like to be able to access my old threads (seems like they call it "Community Participation"). Searching for my old @name didn't bring up much. TIA for any suggestions.

@pdent New Autodesk Account means no access to old account at all, that includes access to these forums. Sorry. There is no "merge old account with new account" ability either.

If these forums are important for you to maintain, then you need to create a unique to you alone Autodesk Account and login to use in these forums, that way you can change jobs as often as you need but your forum account remains intact. It's worked for me for over 20-years now.

As @pendean suggested, I also keep the majority of my Autodesk Community interactions on my personal account. I learned this the hard way by losing access to my first account that was tied to a work email account many years ago.

Hopefully @CGBenner is able to work some magic in the background for you.
