  1. Which Autodesk Forge (now Platform Services) API service is primarily used to translate CAD files into a viewer-compatible format?

    Answer: Model Derivative API

    The Model Derivative API translates source design files into lightweight SVF/SVF2 formats that the Autodesk Viewer can display.

  2. When building a Design Automation workflow that must run an AutoCAD script on hundreds of drawings nightly, which approach best ensures scalability?

    Answer: Use Design Automation API with batch job queuing on Autodesk cloud workers

    Design Automation API offloads processing to Autodesk cloud workers and supports batch queuing, making it the scalable solution.

  3. In an Autodesk ACC (Autodesk Construction Cloud) integrated workflow, what role does the 'transmittal' feature play?

    Answer: It formally tracks the distribution of documents to project stakeholders

    Transmittals in ACC provide a formal, auditable record of documents sent to specific recipients, supporting contractual compliance.

  4. A team wants iProperties in Inventor parts to automatically populate a Bill of Materials in Vault. Which mechanism makes this possible?

    Answer: Vault's iProperty mapping configuration

    Vault's iProperty mapping links specific Inventor iProperties to Vault properties, so BOM fields populate automatically on check-in.

  5. Which Dynamo node category is most appropriate for reading data from an external CSV file to drive parametric Revit model changes?

    Answer: File Path and String nodes combined with List.Map

    Combining File Path nodes with String/CSV parsing nodes and List.Map allows Dynamo to read external data and apply it parametrically.

  6. When automating sheet set creation in AutoCAD using the Sheet Set Manager API, what is the correct object hierarchy?

    Answer: AcSmSheetSet → AcSmSubset → AcSmSheet

    The Sheet Set Manager object model flows from AcSmSheetSet (root) to AcSmSubset (folder) to AcSmSheet (individual sheet).

  7. In Fusion 360's API, which language is NOT officially supported for writing automation scripts?

    Answer: Lua

    Fusion 360 supports Python, C++, and JavaScript for API scripting; Lua is not an officially supported language.
