Have you ever wanted to get into using Autodesk Platform Services to access your Autodesk Construction Cloud data programmatically, but didn’t know where to start? Perhaps you thought it would be too difficult. Well, Autodesk Platform Services is not just for developers! This class will show you how to get started and will start at level zero, assuming you have no code or developer experience. If you want to access, use, and automate your project data, or if you’re just looking for smarter ways to pull data from your cloud models, Autodesk Platform Services can help you do it more efficiently. By the end of the session, you’ll not only understand what Autodesk Platform Services can do, but you’ll also be ready to start creating and using it yourself.

Are you facing challenges as you try to gain visibility and control over development costs? In this fast-paced world of software development, administrators often find it daunting to monitor expenses and manage costs effectively. Without visibility and control, teams risk overspending, misallocating resources, and lacking strategic oversight. This session will set you up for success to better manage your team by using features that provide visibility and control over development costs while using Autodesk Platform Services(APS). You’ll learn how features like Autodesk teams, APS developer hubs, and APS usage reporting can help streamline operations and enhance efficiency when building applications through APS APIs . This session will also offer insights into upcoming cost control and cost prediction features that will enhance APS capabilities for admins. Join us to discover how you can transform your management approach, enabling informed business decisions and effective cost control.

In this session, we’ll walk through real-world examples that showcase how developers and pipeline engineers can programmatically submit, manage, and monitor compute-intensive tasks in the cloud. Using the Job and Resource APIs from the Flow Graph Engine API, you'll learn how to offload simulations, batch process assets, and streamline repetitive workflows using Bifrost as a cloud executor. This API-first approach frees up local machines, accelerates production, and enables scalable parallel execution—helping teams reduce turnaround time and improve pipeline efficiency. Whether you're building internal tools or optimizing large-scale asset generation, this session will offer practical insights into integrating cloud-based compute into your 3D production workflows.

This panel of expert AutoCAD programmers will take 10 programming questions from the audience, solve the problems, and present the solutions.

Come hear what's next for CAM in Fusion 360 and ask questions directly to the product management team.

The AutoCAD Team has been working on a service that will enable third-party developers to interact with DWG™ files via HTTP from anywhere on any device. This presentation will provide details of this new API (application programming interface), and we will show you how to use it from your website, mobile, or desktop app. We will also provide hands-on examples of how to accomplish various tasks, including the plotting of thousands of DWG files to PDF.

Autodesk Platform Services is an industry-leading Design and Make Platform as a service. It makes the same technology used by Autodesk’s SaaS solutions available to external developers and businesses. This class will focus on industry trends, technology insights, and business strategies using Autodesk Platform Services to accelerate the success of your product. This class will help developers, customers, and business partners use all of the tools and resources that Autodesk provides to make sure that products built on top of Autodesk Platform Services are as successful as possible. We'll explore tools and resources that will help you learn and use Autodesk Platform Services, and we'll cover how to improve product awareness, marketing, sales, and more. We'll also include information about industry trends that we're seeing, and we'll look at several case studies to show you how products in multiple industries have become successful using Autodesk Platform Services.

Traditionally, firms have developed and deployed Revit Add-ins using C# to implement Automation, Integration, & Customizations and custom capabilities in Revit. Autodesk now offers the  Automation, Integration, & Customization API, part of the Autodesk Platform Service (APS), which provides access to the Automation, Integration, & Customization capabilities of Autodesk’s core products, including the Revit API. This session will assist developers in transitioning from the Revit API to the Automation, Integration, & Customization API. The Automation, Integration, & Customization API introduces a new workflow that allows developers to access the full Revit DB API without needing a Revit desktop installation. This enables seamless creation, extraction, and modification of Revit data. This workflow facilitates the creation of custom Revit families, data extraction, and more, without the need to open Revit models. We outline from start to finish how to convert a Revit Add-in to Design Automation, Integration, & Customization. This includes using Postman, managing References, Access Tokens, AppBundles, publishing, and running WorkItems.

OpenAPI specifications are more than just a developer convenience—they’re a strategic asset. In this session, see how Autodesk Platform Services’ OpenAPI specs can be used to generate SDKs across languages with Microsoft Kiota, build connectors for Power Automate with minimal effort, and even serve as the foundation for AI agents that interact with Autodesk Construction Cloud data in real time. Whether you’re building internal tools, Automation, Integration, & Customizations, or intelligent assistants, learn how OpenAPI can become the backbone of your integration strategy.

Learn how quick and easy it is to start programming on iOS for Apple Inc.'s iPhone, iPad, and iPod.

AutoLISP programming language has been around for decades, yet there are many functions that often go undiscovered or forgotten by veteran AutoLISP programmers. While there are hundreds of AutoLISP programming language functions (thousands, if you count ActiveX), this class will focus on 21 functions that new developers often overlook and that veteran programmers often forget. All of the functions fit into 1 of several different themes, including function execution, object creation and manipulation, and error handling. We will also discuss loading LISP files, accessing variable values, and configuring contextual help.

The Vault 2014 release adds a powerful set of programming tools: the Vault Development Framework (VDF). Learn how to unlock the power of the VDF. Get more features in your apps with less code. This class goes over the basics of the VDF, such as how to use the Login dialog. From there we explore how to use the VDF in various contexts, such as the Job Processor. Lastly, we go over useful tips and tricks for Vault 2014 API programming.
