Dalux ↔ Autodesk Construction Cloud synchronization
Bridge Dalux and Autodesk Construction Cloud (Forma) without switching anyone's workflow. DMS Sync Manager keeps drawings, BIM models, and metadata aligned between the two platforms so design teams in ACC and site teams in Dalux stay on the same set of files.
How it works
Three steps to keep Dalux and Autodesk Construction Cloud in sync.
Connect Dalux and Autodesk Construction Cloud
Dalux uses an API key; Autodesk Construction Cloud uses OAuth. Both connections are project-scoped and stored encrypted.
Map projects and folders
Map one or more Dalux document areas to ACC project folders. Direction is per task — Dalux → ACC, ACC → Dalux, or both as parallel tasks.
Set rules + cadence
Filter by file type, revision, label, or last-modified. Schedule by hour, day, or on demand. Every file move shows up in the full activity log.
What customers do with it
A few real-world scenarios.
- Push the latest ACC issued drawings into Dalux so site supervisors see them on the iPad without a separate publish step.
- Sync BIM 360 / Autodesk Docs RFI attachments into Dalux for site coordination.
- Maintain a Dalux archive of every approved ACC revision for handover.
"Projects rarely fail in design — they fail when teams can't trust they're looking at the latest version."
Frequently asked questions
Is this two-way?
Each sync task is one-way to keep version conflicts impossible. Run two tasks in parallel for two-way behaviour, with a rule that prevents loops.
Are RVT and IFC models supported?
Yes. Models are treated as files like any other; metadata mapping is configurable per project.
Will syncing trigger Autodesk consumption charges?
DMS Sync uses the Autodesk Forge / Construction Cloud APIs. Standard Autodesk API throttling applies; we batch and back off automatically.
Can we restrict which folders sync?
Yes. Each sync task targets a specific folder. Multiple tasks can run in parallel for different folders or projects.
