.SCR Script file support in BIM360

[KPerison]

Hello, I'm 1/2 way through my 1st day using BIM360 and have run into a question I can't readily find the answer to.

For plotting, we load a script file (.scr) to call certain lisp routines from common standard file paths on user's machines. These lisp routines update titleblock attributes and a few other tasks. Then plot the PDF's to a standard output folder.

I have uploaded one of these .scr files to BIM360, but the interface tells me that .scr files are not supported. The file still shows up in FileExplorer, but not when you view the BIM360 folder online. The file is not tracked with version history. However, the file is still editable and can be called to run from in Autocad, 

I know the un-supported file list shows .scr, but is listed as Windows Screen Saver.

So my question is, can AutoCAD script files (.scr) be stored and used on BIM360? If not is there a work-around?

I'd like to keep the projects setup/resource files managed fully on BIM360 rather than relying on users to copy extra files locally. Which defeats the purpose of document control.

They say .scr is not a typical design file extension. I figured it might be because a .scr file might be malicious in some way.

But, I too, would like to be able to upload, store, and run script files from ACC. 

Our AutoCAD is heavily customized and we run menus, LISP, and script files off the network. With so many people now using laptops, they lose that network connection and the AutoCAD decides to forget that network path was ever in the support file search path.

So, my workaround was to place our custom stuff on ACC. But, they don't allow .scr files. Dang. I'm in the process of changing our script files to LISP routines.

Bueller?....Bueller?....Bueller?....

Given that script files for autocad are just plain text files, we tend to park these inside a bim360 docs viewable file format like a word document. That way we can also put some instructions on how to work these files locally in there. The work around is usually users making an empty target file on their local drives, like 'thisscript.scr', open that inside notepad, open the word document, copy the relevant lines over to the script, closing, saving and dragging it into autocad.
