I can't verify my email and can't sign in

I just bought AutoCAD LT and Autodeak wants me to verify my email. I received the order confirmation so I know my email is correct but I'm not getting the verification email. I have had it resent, waited an hour, and checked my spam folder. Nothing. I tried contacting support but everything directs me to another support page and tells me to sign in which I can't do. I feel like I'm caught in a loop of help pages and AI support.

Endless loop to 2-step verification login

Got an email saying I need to update my autodesk 2-step verification, the problem is, I already have 2-step verification setup. So when I login it ask for my app code, and that works... But then it says I need to updated my 2-step verification, if I click on the update 2-step, it logs me out... I log back in using 2-step verification again to login and it then relogs me out...

Its an endless loop, can't stay logged in because of the 2-step verification prompt, but I already have 2-step verification setup...

Trying to submit a ticket to autodesk but... can't stay logged in...

Nawisworks & Autodesk Construction Cloud - Export Scheduler

Is there a way to connect a Navisworks (nwc) Container file with ACC and do the export scheduler from the platform directly?

I want to try and avoid having the nwc file on the local server, as the path might change depending on the user who`s opening it or if the nwc gets open outside of the company`s server at all.

IFCs (ACC) -> NWC (saved on ACC) > Revizto export scheduler 

Thanks for any suggestions

Customizing Autocad

We have a client that we support who uses Autocad. They want us to install AutoCAD (5 titles), open and close each app, then copy in files representing plotters, plot styles, fonts, and support files to locations that were created when we opened the apps. Then they want us to go into each app and manually adjust the support files search order.

The whole thing takes hours. I am wondering if we create an .ARG will that be enough to stop us from having to do all of these configuration steps? Or do we also need to find a location that is static and still copy the plotters, plot styles, fonts, and support files to that location (which at least we can do automated).

License Server Issues

Working on setting up the new company floating license server for autodesk products. We have a current server setup that is aging out and needs replaced. Downloaded the latest license manager and got it configured using AutoDesk's instructions. Mirrored all the port settings from the old box and confirmed them with IT. And I've provisioned a new license file with the new device names.

I can get AutoCad to see server but it gives the following error when connecting: Network License Not Available. Error [-15.570.0]. It provides several common items to look at such as all licenses in use, server is down or the license is expired. Validated that the server is up, showing 0 licenses in use and 8 available for my software, and the license is not expired for another 6 months.

We put in a ticket with AutoDesk and typical support service sat on the ticket for several weeks, linked articles we had already mentioned we tried and then closed the ticket. Anyone else experienced this particular issue with the [-15.570.0] error code? Not much I've found on that issue during my research.

Can someone help my work flow. Doing a Project betwen multiple software (Revit, Maya, and fission 360)

Hi everyone. I’m working on a modular wall system for table top games (to snap them together and make buildings) the end product will be 3D printed.

I’m working betwen the following programs.

Fusion 360 to make the Shell. Connectors and stuff. Then was going to design the wall Itself on Revit. And just scale/place them into the shell(s) in the slicer to print. But I quickly realized Revit doesn’t have any model texture. So I took the endeavor to learn Maya over the past week. I’m not great at it but was hoping to import the revit model into Maya to Sculpt on it. Basically just the smaller details IE brick, wood grains, Dents/Gravel, Damage, plaster, Siding, Text, shingles. Etc.

Questions: what is the Best file type to import a Revit model into Maya for sculpting? Is there a Simple command to set up a lot of vertices on the imported model? Am I better off using Mud box if I just want to Sculpt something?

I’m hoping to design a lot of Each wall. So I thought it would be faster re-using the Shell on fusion, and quickly outlining my wall on revit. But maybe I’m wrong. Thoughts?

Creating a program level view.

I am new to Autodesk builds and I am wondering if it can support a Gantt chart showing multiple projects. I have been watching tutorial videos on their website, but so far I haven't found anything that looks like what I want to do. My employer is a fairly small subcontractor and our part of new construction work is typically done in a couple of weeks. Because of that we end up having a lot of different projects that need to be tracked. I am a new hire and I have been tasked with automate our estimating and project management work. Part of that is building a Gantt chart to show all the project that we at the same time. My company really want this Gannt chart to live on Autodesk, is there a way to do this? It looks as though the schedule feature is project specific. Could I use the Insight feature or the Executive view feature to do what I am trying?

Export Inventor assembly as .rvt, without losing coordinates

Hi all.

I have an issue sharing my Inventor assembly with the customer in the correct position within the federated Naviswork model.

After I have positioned my model correctly, I export it is a .rvt file. Then I place the .rvt into the federated model and it has now lost its coordinates and is placed far away from the correct position. This is not an issue if I export the model as a .rfa file. But the customer wants the model as .rvt

If anyone has a solution to this issue I would be very happy.

License seats taking a long time to show up on account?

Last week we had a new employee start on Friday. I contacted our ADSK reseller and had them add a couple of seats for Revit and ACC. They sent us a quote, which was signed, and the payment cleared on Thursday. As of today (Monday 11 AM CST), those seats are still not available to assign to the new employee. My reseller said their accounting team is reaching out to ADSK to try to figure out what's up, but we still haven't heard anything. Anyone else experiencing delays with new seats becoming available in their Admin dashboard?

Token leak

I was just reviewing token consumption for my users for the past few months and i'm showing some days users will get charged 1 token for "Fusion Team" which isn't supposed to charge any tokens. Anybody else ever see this? Have already reached out to our Autodesk rep to fin out what's going on. Source of data is the usage export from our portal on the autodesk website.

Change xref path and keep layer overrides

I have a set of template files. A primary drawing with 2 xrefs. When I copy these to a new project, I need to rename them with the project number. After renaming, I go into the primary file and update the path to the xrefs. When I do this, all layer overrides on the xrefs are lost (the xrefs reload without any layer overrides). Is there any way to change the path and keep the layer overrides? I have VISRETAIN andXREFOVERRIDE set to 1.

Pricing AutoDesk Connector

Hey folks, this might be a rather stupid question but what does the Plug-In AutoDesk Connector for ArcGIS cost? I couldn't find anything about it online. Copilot AI told me that you have to buy the Connector whereas it states that ESRI's Plug-In for AutoCAD should be for free. Thanks!

Autodesk Container File

ACC Newbie here - trying to build a container file with different ifcs.

Is it possible to linke the converted ifc.rvt files in a container and publish that container as a cloud model for all to access ? Or does each individual ifc.rvt file need to also be published?

Getting this right now

Using a "virtual" drive as a storage location

I just installed Vault 2024. I used rclone* to mount an s3 equivalent storage as a virtual drive as specified here** on 11 Enterprise 22H2. The OS has no problem reading and writing from/to it. However, if I try to use Data Management Server Console to try and create a vault, the drive isn't listed under "browse for folder".

Many thanks in advance for any help

Access expired

Hello everyone, a few days ago my student license expired, but I updated it yesterday. When I open a program like revit I keep getting the expired access warning, should I reinstall all my programs from the autodesk page so that I don't get the warning or is there another solution?

Number of Subscriptions Held and Who Gets Them?

Hi all,

We are a medium sized business with about 125 employees. 50-60 of which are designers to some extent. I'm curious how the rest of the world has been dealing with Autodesk's amazing new shift to SaaS. We were offered a two for one exchange from concurrent (shared) licenses to the subscriptions. At that time and due to the frequency in which each employee used the product, 26 shared licenses were more than enough to cover use for everyone. As you are well aware, the shift to SaaS is NOT optional in the commercial world, so we obviously "accepted" the 2 for 1 deal. Unfortunately that doesn't include enough subscriptions to cover all of our users all of the time. To compound the problem, perhaps 25% of our users only use the product about once a week or a few times a month. We know we can assign licenses to Teams, but this creates an overhead management burden. We can also reassign licenses ad-hoc, but again, someone gets to manage that and determine who has a license and when and if they need it etc... End Rant

We are concerned with the growing cost of subscriptions. Autodesk generously extended our existing costs, but in the last 4 years, our costs have nearly doubled. Any new subscriptions we purchase will be at full price. And the rumor on the street is, by 2028, Autodesk is making everyone go full retail. Source In our case, this will quadruple our costs. We can pass this on to clients and likely will, but wow...

So what are the rest of you doing?

We currently run 50ish subs... How about you guys?

EDIT: I submitted this once, but it was taken down. I thought maybe because I wasn't a member. So I joined and this is the second submission. If it violates a rule, I'm not sure which one it might be.

FUA

I got this email from Autodesk tody

As a result, we are rebalancing the price of Autodesk Fusion to represent the value it delivers. Effective January 30, 2024, the annual subscription price will increase to $680 USD SRP.

If you purchase an annual subscription before January 30, 2024, you will receive a renewal price lock at the current price of $490 USD SRP until February 6, 2027.

Note: No changes are being made to Autodesk Fusion for personal use currently, and no action is needed.

Navisworks Selection Tree

Hi.
I'm looking to find any information on how to edit the Selection Tree within Navisworks. I have a client who's asked me to update the as built model with the amendments I've made. When appending them into the file they appear in a seperate layer below the clients layers. I thought I'd be able to edit this in some way to merge it into the correct part of the hierarchy but this doesn't seem to be case. Any ideas on how to achieve this?
