Design Automation

The Design Automation API provides users the ability to perform automated tasks on design files in the cloud.

Convert a DWG File to a PDF File

To convert a DWG file to a PDF file, use the makePdf function, where source and destination are the publicly accessible source of the DWG file and destination for the PDF file, respectively.

mySource <- "http://download.autodesk.com/us/samplefiles/acad/visualization_-_aerial.dwg"
myDestination <- "https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0BygncDVHf60mTDZVNDltLThLNmM&usp=sharing"
resp <- makePdf(source = mySource, destination = myDestination, token = myToken)

Note that in this example, the token must be generated with the code:all scope.

To check the status of the conversion process:

resp <- checkPdf(source = mySource, destination = myDestination, token = myToken)
resp
