Data Exchange Spring Updates – Including a new SDK Release
Updated .NET SDK
The Data Exchange SDK team has provided a new version - 5.2.4-beta with stability and performance improvements. Highlights include new Mesh support from the SDK and there is also a new Progress Reporter utility to allow you to create custom progress details within your application. See here for complete details. If you have not joined the beta yet, you can do so here.
New GraphQL Automation functionality
The Data Exchange team has been continuously improving the GraphQL and SDK features. If you did not see the announcement for the new GraphQL Automation feature see here for details. It allows you to create new Data Exchanges from Revit files or the AEC Data Model using the GraphQL API. The DX team more recently introduced the ability to create exchanges from IFC as well and is also included in this new Automation functionality. See here for the API details for IFC publishing. Check out the IFC to Data Exchange functionality.

This past quarter was about working with the Autodesk data models and included two sessions for Data Exchange GraphQL and the SDK.
