Response
Body Structure (200)
A WorkItem JSON object is returned.
Expand all
ActivityId string | Activity to be executed
The value must match the
Id attribute of the Activity object. |
Arguments object | Defines references to input and output arguments
An Argument is a container of two sub-containers: InputArguments and OutputArguments.
|
InputArguments object | An array of Argument objects
Each Argument object defines a set of input parameters that the service uses to prepare a logic “input” item (drawing, supporting file, script file, ...) along with specifying where and how to get the input.
|
Resource string: URL | Specifies the location of the resource; the value is generally a URL to download
The URL needs to be pre-signed or you have to provide the Authorization header with a valid token via Headers.
|
Name string | Unique name of the input argument; must be unique in this InputArguments array
Note: The special input argument named “$(HostDwg)” instructs the service to treat the downloaded resource of the argument as the host drawing in the AutoCAD core engine session.
|
Headers array: string | An array of “Name” - “Value” pairings that will be applied as HTTP request headers when the service tries to retrieve the input for a WorkItem.
For example, if you specify
{"Name":"Authorization", "Value":"Bearer xxxxxyyyyyzzz"} , the GET request sends Authorization="Bearer xxxxxyyyyyzzz" to the HTTP header. |
ResourceKind enum: string | Specifies the kind of resource used; when left empty “Simple” is used
Simple : Single remote resource is downloaded as-is; no further unpacking is performed.EtransmitPackage : Single remote resource is an AutoCAD eTransmit package. After the resource is downloaded locally, the contents are unpacked.RemoteFileResource : A cluster of remote resources, described as a RemoteFileResource object with relationships between these resources. The service walks-through the relationship graph and downloads all the resources described.ZipPackage : Remote resource is a single compressed file. After the resource is downloaded locally, the contents are unpacked to a working folder.Embedded : The “Resource” attribute is an in-line resource that conforms with the Data URI scheme. When such a resource is encountered, the file identified by the Resource field is downloaded locally. The Resource field should be of the form
data:[<media-type>][;base64],<data> , and at present <media-type> must be application/json .Variadic : A partial resource to be completed on use. The Resource attribute is a base URI for one or more delay-downloaded resources when access is required, typically from within the underlying application (AutoCAD core engine).
When access is requested, the application supplies missing URI fragments and/or query strings. |
StorageProvider string | Type of storage in which the input resource come from; can be left empty
Generic is currently the only valid value. |
HttpVerb enum: string | HTTP operation for this input argument; valid values are
GET or HEAD |
OutputArguments object | An array of Argument objects that represent the output of the WorkItem after execution
Each output item is typically uploaded to the location specified by the Resource field.
|
Resource string: URL | URL to publish a given output argument
|
Name string | Unique name of the output argument; must be unique in this OutputArguments array
|
Headers array: string | An array of “Name” - “Value” pairings that defines the HTTP header to use when publishing this output arguments.
|
ResourceKind enum: string | Specifies the kind of resource to be used; when left empty “Simple” is used
Simple : Single remote resource is downloaded as-is; no further unpacking is performed.EtransmitPackage : Single remote resource is an AutoCAD eTransmit package. After the resource is downloaded locally, the contents are unpacked.RemoteFileResource : A cluster of remote resources, described as a RemoteFileResource object with relationships between these resources.

StorageProvider string | Type of storage to use for output; can be left empty
Generic is currently the only valid value. |
HttpVerb enum: string | HTTP operation for this output argument; valid values are
PUT or POST |
Status enum: string | Result of the executed task
FailedEnvironmentSetup (-5): Indicates that the required Engine cannot be installedFailedUpload (-4): Indicates that any of the outputs have failed to uploadFailedMissingOutput (-3): Indicates when any of the outputs are missing after the AcCoreConsole.exe has successfully returnedFailedExecution (-2): Indicates that the AcCoreConsole.exe exited with a non-zero exit codeThis includes the following cases:
1. Timeout; exit code is passed to Kill(<exitcode>)
2. Crash; exit code is non-zero
3. Input drawing fails to open; produces various non-zero exit codes
FailedDownload (-1): Indicates that any of the inputs have failed to downloadPending (0): Indicates that the WorkItem is still in the queue, no worker has started processing the WorkItemInProgress (1): Indicates that the WorkItem is being processedSucceeded (256): Indicates that execution of the WorkItem was successful |
StatusDetails object | Wrapper object that contains a S3 item path for the internal reporting of the WorkItem
