Are you a CAD administrator looking for a simpler method to maintain and deploy support files (templates, fonts, hatch pattern, plot styles, and LISP routines) in AutoCAD on the web? Shared support files is a new feature that does just that, making it easier to manage support files and to enforce company standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By creating and assigning a support files configuration to an Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) project, project administrators can create and automatically deploy support files, allowing them to group and share support file configurations with collaborators for drawings saved on ACC projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Support files configurations act as a bridge for accessing and distributing support files within a project. The following file types can be saved and deployed as support files using the Support Files manager:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This new feature allows you to maintain a single source of support files, with no need to duplicate support files in different projects to deploy them to different collaborators! Project administrators are the only ones who can create or modify support files configurations, and non-admin members have access to support files for each project, defined and managed by administrators in ACC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To set up Support Files (as an administrator)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Note:<\/strong> Only projects for which you are an administrator in ACC will display.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To access and use the support files that your admin has assigned, simply connect to the ACC project in AutoCAD on the web. Follow these steps to connect to Autodesk Docs projects.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
