Custom Connections
When BIMrx® Cloud Manager was first introduced to the public, what is now known as Custom Connections was the only way to connect to BIM 360®. That all changed with the release of support for connection via the standard Autodesk Connection. While many will switch over to the faster and more convenient Autodesk Connection (no prior setup or configuration required), there is still a need for the Custom Connection.
By connecting to the pre-defined Autodesk Forge App and Custom Integration (see Autodesk BIM 360 Setup, following) Custom Connections provide a very specific level of access, according to necessary limitations or requirements. Additionally, Custom Connections provide access to scheduled jobs that may be deployed across the network, which require BIM 360 logon access but without an individual being able to enter a name/password.
The following topics address the setup, operation and ongoing maintenance of Custom Connections.
