Autodesk Integration

The connection to Autodesk can sometimes break, here are some common causes:

1) If you are getting a red error alert saying that your export to Netfabb didn't work, you probably you haven't created a Authentise Folder in your A360 account. Remember, we asked you to do that in the Prerequisites. Jumping that section is now coming back to bite you ;) 

We can't create a Authentise Folder for you (Autodesk doesn't have this API), so for now you will have to do it: 

2) Currently, the model can only be exported to a single Account user. 

3) Right now, we can't export Binary STL's

Logging in

• Go to rapidfab.authentise.com

• Login with with your bureau (make sure the Netfabb integration has been activated)

• Create or open an order

• Go to the Line Item, and click on "login with Forge". Follow the instructions

Our integration with Autodesk Netfabb currently has one touch point - you can review incoming order files by clicking a button to display them in Netfabb. When you save them in Netfabb they should also be synced with Authentise. Depending on which version of Netfabb you have, the pre-requsisites are a little different (more intense if you have a version <2020.0). We've listed both below

Prerequisites for Netfabb 2020.0+

1. We are managing this integration via the Forge platform, so you will need to have an account on a360.autodesk.com as well as Netfabb (version 2019.1 or above) and an Authentise Bureau, naturally.

2. Your A360 account should also have a folder names "Authentise" in it.

3. You need to make sure you're logged in to your Autodesk account on your Netfabb version.
