Autodesk software empowers intelligent and connected design collaboration across teams and platforms, enhancing design efficiency and streamlining project management. Discover how you and your team can unlock this transformative experience by integrating the capabilities of Forma Data Management—a cloud-based Management and common data environment—with architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) tools: AutoCAD, Civil 3D, and Revit software. A panel discussion will tackle the industry’s pressing challenges around collaboration and information exchange, showcasing the advantages of adopting cloud-based workflows. By enabling information sharing among project partners, the Autodesk ecosystem becomes even more valuable for users. Join us to see how Forma Data Management can break down the information barriers and get you on the path toward the Autodesk Forma industry cloud for AutoCAD, Civil 3D, and Revit users.

Forma Data Management is a cloud-based common data environment on the Autodesk Forma platform, facilitating concurrent collaboration between multiple users. Does working together on the same project pose challenges for the team, particularly when multiple users are working on the same set of drawings? Are you experiencing any synchronization issues while collaborating on the same project drawings? Do you encounter issues when notifications about one user's edits are not sent to the other users? Collaboration becomes significantly more productive when the system operates as anticipated and delivers instant results. With Forma Data Management project synchronization enhancement in AutoCAD Architecture software and AutoCAD MEP toolset now resolves the challenges and alleviates our burdens. The projects hosted on Forma Data Management now support automatic synchronization of changes across multiple users. Now two or more users can collaborate on a project across offices and locations. Users can identify if a drawing is available for editing or locked by others.

In this class, we'll discuss how Autodesk Forma can help a project management consultancy be more efficient by tracking project key performance indicators (KPIs) related to schedule and cost control through Forma Data Management, Forma Takeoff, Forma Build, and Autodesk Forma Connect. We'll take a closer look at how users can save time and easily track deliverables into Forma Data Management and Forma Build automatically. By combining Autodesk Forma (cloud platform) to Autodesk Forma Connect (ready-to-use integration platform), users can create their own custom applications using "recipes,” and follow the delivered models and drawings. We'll also learn how to track the evolution of design quantity takeoffs based on the Autodesk takeoff to make strategic and efficient business decisions relying on real-time project data. By harnessing the power of Autodesk Forma connected to Autodesk Forma Connect, we'll learn how to store the extracted data in an SQL database and automatically connect it to a Power BI dashboard streamlining proficient reporting.

The entire rail system design process is now managed digitally using Forma Data Management software. Instead of relying on traditional email-based file sharing and approvals, all stakeholders—including the client, consultant, and designer—collaborate in real time on a single digital platform. As a result, delays in approval phases have been significantly reduced, achieving up to 70% savings in paper usage and up to 30% time efficiency in past projects. For upcoming projects, the goal is to implement a fully digital, paperless workflow that boosts Sustainable Design and operational efficiency across the entire design phase.

There are still obstacles to sustainable design. Construction professionals know they must build faster, more efficiently, and more sustainably to meet global demands. The industry is moving away from waste and inefficiency, and is adopting smarter processes, connected teams, and workflows that ensure the right people have access to the data they need to make timely and confident decisions. That's why we need Revit software as a modeling tool; Autodesk Forma software with its conceptual design capabilities, predictive analytics, and design automation to help us to select the most-sustainable options in the early stages of the design process; Forma Data Management software as our common data environment (CDE) and single source of truth; Design Collaboration to manage the exchange of design data between all project teams; Model Coordination for running efficient model coordination and automatic clash detection; Forma Build software for improved project, cost, and safety management; and Forma Takeoff software for early quantifications and estimations.

In this class, we’ll introduce you to connected workflows between AutoCAD software and Autodesk Forma. You’ll see a detailed walk-through on reference drawings and their relationships within Forma Data Management. Learn how users can maximize the full potential of Desktop Connector to validate reference files, maintain associativity, and establish versioning of drawing files in Forma Data Management. Then, we’ll introduce the integration of the file-locking feature into AutoCAD and see its benefits while sharing drawings through projects in Autodesk Forma. We’ll share some best practices in terms of handling drawing file operations within AutoCAD for cloud-based storage. Finally, we’ll wrap up with some key tools that will enable you to collaborate efficiently and increase productivity through Autodesk Cloud Services.
