Autodesk Construction Docs/ aka BIM 360 Local File API

Autodesk Construction Docs/ aka BIM 360 Local File API

Revit third-party apps do not have methods to get the file state of local ACCDocs/BIM 360 files and deterministically
force the download of a current version from the cloud. With the lack of an Autodesk sanctioned solution, it is difficult to use ACCDocs/ BIM 360 for all collaboration needs. These are just examples of a few of the API functions we would need to better serve our customers:

- static class BIM360FileUtils

- void GetFile(string filepath)

- enum FileStatus

- string GetFileStatusDescription(FileStatus status)

- int GetFileLocalVersion(string filepath)

Thanks for the answer.

Not just Revit, any of the modern Autodesk apps that have a publish or sync or whatever collaboration use the connector.  If I wanted to provide a similar function for any other product to get data into BIM 360 or ACC I'd like to use the connector to do so.

This API access is critical for third party applications when Autodesk makes changes to the Desktop Connector as they have done with version  v16.0.0.1902
