Announcements
Get to know the new Autodesk Forma Industry Cloud
We're expanding the Forma industry cloud, Autodesk's AI-native platform for the AECO industry. The Forma industry cloud will now include the capabilities of Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC).

We've introduced new enhancements to Autodesk Platform Services (APS) Developer Hubs in the APS Developer Portal. The updates make it easier to manage applications, organize development work, and streamline administrative workflows. Read the blog for more.
TradeTapp releases API of Risk Flags
We released new endpoints with TradeTapp v2 API. With Risk Flags, general contractors can annotate and monitor issues related to subcontractor qualifications, safety, and performance. The new endpoints will help you retrieve a list of flags, retrieve a specific flag, and more. Get the full list of new endpoints in the blog.

Code Samples
Backing up 1,000 Forma projects to S3—without melting the API
Do you have a big Forma account? This blog shows you a shortcut to back up hundreds—or thousands—of projects to S3 every 24 hours. Since February 2023, the Data Management API has quietly exposed a field called lastModifiedTimeRollup on every folder. Find the command and the full repo in this blog.
Fan-in workflows in APS Automation
Activity Variable Arguments (varargs) in the APS Automation API has a secret power: Combined with the WorkItem Combine API and DAS Intermediate Storage, it unlocks a clean fan-in workflow pattern to run parallel workitems, collect outputs, and feed everything into a single combinator step. This post walks through code samples and details.
Add export format to Inventor Configurator
On the Downloads tab of the https://inventor-config-demo.autodesk.io/ sample, currently you can only export the model to RFA (Revit Family) file format. This article shows you how to let users download the model in other file formats as well, complete with code and Github repo.
