We are thrilled to announce updates to a slew of Data Exchange connectors including support for Revit 2025, Rhino 8, Power BI and more. Read on for a complete list of enhancements that are now available via these connector updates
Connector Updates
Power BI Connector v2.0.7 now available in Public BETA
Since its public BETA release, we have seen some great positive feedback for the Data Exchange Power BI Connector. The value of combining design data along with other operational data in an easy-to-use dashboard has created a massive productivity boost for our customers.
However, with more usage and larger data exchanges within Power BI, we got feedback around extended loading times and inconsistent load behavior. As a result, the team has spent these past 2 months focusing on the performance and reliability of the Power BI connector.
What’s new in v2.0.7
- 10x improvement in exchange load times for large models
- “I confirm the giant leap done here. Much better and quite efficient. I’ll start testing” when load time was significantly reduced from 2 hours to ~10 minutes.
- Fixes for Stability issues (stack overflow errors, oauth2 token expiration).
- More streamlined loading of the viewer component
- Various bug fixes
