The 3D Repo for Autodesk® AutoCAD® plugin provides a convenient way of uploading your models directly to 3D Repo from within the AutoCAD desktop application.
Currently supported versions: AutoCAD 2020, 2021 & 2022
Initial Setup
Before you upload your AutoCAD model, you will need to create a model container in 3D Repo. If you have one already, then you can skip this step
Download and install the plugin prior to opening the desktop application
Open your 3D model (.dwg) in AutoCAD
We advise you to take measurements and check that your AutoCAD model matches the model units in 3D Repo.
Model Publish
Great! Now that your model is ready, follow the steps below to publish it to 3D Repo:
Click on the Publish icon located in the 3D Repo tab (main ribbon menu)
In the 3D Repo Model Uploader window provide your login details and click Login. You can switch between 3drepo.io or ca.3drepo.io as the domain server.
Navigate over to your model container by selecting the relevant Teamspace, Project and Model
Provide the following information:
Revision name (alpha-numerical values only & 20 Characters max)
Optional text description
Select a Level of Detail (by default it is set to Low)
Ensure that ‘Last Revision’ section contains the correct information prior to uploading.
Click on the Upload button and the progress bar will appear
Done will indicate a successful upload, a warning message will tell you otherwise
Once uploaded, your model will start processing on our servers and a model container on 3drepo.io will indicate it.
When your model is ready, you will see a new model revision timestamp.
