The CLIPLANT360SHARE command is a CLI version of the _PLANTPROJECTCOLLABORATION command in Plant3D. It automates the process of uploading a project to ACC with document mangement from Plant3D Desktop application.
The project provides a facilitiy to convert a SQL Server-based Plant3D projects to SQLite format.
To use the CLI command:
-
Open the Plant3D command line.
-
Type
CLIPLANT360SHAREand press Enter.
-
SQL Server to SQLite Conversion: Converts Plant3D project files from SQL Server format to SQLite format.
-
Project Upload to ACC: Uploads the converted project to the Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) for collaboration.
-
Command-Line Interface (CLI): Provides a CLI command (
CLIPLANT360SHARE) to automate the upload process.
Before using the CLIPLANT360SHARE tool, ensure that you have the following:
-
Autodesk Plant3D 2025: The tool is designed to work within the Autodesk Plant3D environment.
-
Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) Account: You need an ACC account with the necessary permissions to upload projects.
-
.NET 8.0: The tool is written in C# and requires the .NET 8.0 to run.
-
Clone the Repository: Clone the repository to your local machine.
git clone https://github.com/MadhukarMoogala/CLIPLANT360SHARE.git cd CLIPLANT360SHARE devenv P360Share.csproj -
Open the Project: Open the project in Visual Studio 2022
-
Edit The Project : Edit
.csprojand repathAcadInstallDirto the AutoCAD instal directory on your machine. -
Build the Project: Build the project in Visual Studio by selecting
Build>Build Solutionor by pressingCtrl+Shift+B. -
Run the Project: Once the project is built, launch AutoCAD Plant3D, open any local Plant Project,
NETLOADthe binary dll and runCLIPLANT360SHARE
With out command, you can also use the UploadProject method to upload a Plant3D project to the Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC), . This method takes the following parameters:
-
hubName: The name of the ACC hub. -
projectId: The ID of the ACC project. -
cts: A cancellation token to cancel the operation.
P360Share.Program.UploadProject(
"Developer Advocacy Support",
"b.1549f155-5acf-4359-a496-f734a2ab05dd",
new CancellationToken()
);CLIPLANT360SHARE.mp4
- The CLI command works best when a Plant 3D project is opened in AutoCAD Plant 3D. Loading a project.xml file directly using the API, e.g., PlantProject prj = PlantProject.LoadProject(@"D:\abc\project.xml", true, null, null);, does not synchronize effectively with the collaboration cache.
- Ensure that the ACC Hub contains at least one project; otherwise, you may encounter a null ProjectFolderUrn exception.
