    Autodesk Desktop Connector and Sheet Sets

    Posted on by Rikki Kenzhebayeva

    An update to the Desktop Connector as made available on August 11, 2020.  Here is the relevant Autodesk document.

    If you’re a Sheet Set user who also uses BIM 360, this update is for you.  In addition to other resolved issues, the main feature in this update is that Sheet Set DST files are now recognized.  When a DST file is uploaded via the Desktop Connector, any drawings contained therein and their references are all uploaded.  When a DST is opened in AutoCAD, drawings will be synchronized locally.

    Autodesk has released the first update for AutoCAD 2021.  Find official documentation here.  Here are some highlights:

    • Blocks palette:
        • There is a new Favorites tab.
        • Block can be copied from other tabs to the new Favorites tab.
        • Blocks synchronized in the cloud can become accessible across multiple devices.
        • You can better manage your synchronization settings in the Blocks palette now.
        • Insert a DWG into the current file without it being added to the Libraries tab.
        • New variable and setting in Options: BLOCKSYNCFOLDER – Sets the path where the recent and favorite blocks are stored.
    • In the AutoCAD web app, click Open in Desktop to open the drawing in AutoCAD or AutoCAD LT desktop.  A plug-in must be installed.
