BIMlist 2.0 Changes:

New Features:

1. Allows for the use of UNC pathing. This makes it much easier for multi-office firms to use the content browser if they do not have drive letters synced across the network that are standard locations for their Revit content.
2. BIMlist is now compatible with MySQL databases, in addition to SQL.
   1. MySQL is a free version of SQL that many firms use.
   2. BIMlist includes database table scripts to structure data for all three versions of SQL that BIMlist now supports (mySQL, Microsoft SQL, and Microsoft SQL compact edition).
3. BIMlist will now memorize the last selected group in the browser (if someone works mostly in the "health care" group, they will have this group selected upon opening).
4. We have added activation options to slient install option.
   1. This allows for a "hands off" installation by admins to the user's machines.
5. When searching for families they are now highlighted if they are already in the project (it previously worked only while browsing).

Things are quieting down for the end of the year, so I thought it might be a good time to post some helpful links as they pertain to our clients Autodesk subscription. We find many of our clients do not fully take advantage of their subscription services, and rather see it as only "prepaying for my upgrade".

Autodesk has focused in offering more and more "value adds" to their subscription clients, and you may occasionally see emails from them highlighting some of these. I thought it best to include the series of links below that explain many of the other services you, as a subscription client have available to you.

Among some of the more exciting developments on the Autodesk front is the newly available Autodesk Cloud. One of those features of Autodesk Cloud is the Autodesk Cloud Documents, which provides Autodesk subscription customers with access to cloud storage for their files.

This whitepaper describes the security protocol for Autodesk Cloud Documents, and addresses some of the concerns customers have with uploading their files to Autodesk Cloud.
