Whats new$$$Enhanced user experience$$$Improved file lock/unlock behaviors$$$$$$File locks are now properly tracked across Desktop Connector restarts; preventing stale locks from blocking other users.$$$If a file is renamed or moved while Desktop Connector is not running; the lock is correctly associated with the files new name/location upon restarting.$$$Updated Forma branding: The Change Workspace dialog now correctly displays Autodesk Forma branding instead of the previous Autodesk Docs references.$$$$$$Application compatibility$$$Local thumbnail support for downloaded files: When used with AutoCAD 2027.1; Desktop Connector now extracts thumbnails for locally downloaded DWG files (synced or always available) when cloud thumbnails are not yet available. DWG thumbnails will appear in File Explorer and AutoCADs Autodesk Projects tab. Earlier versions of AutoCAD are not affected by this change.$$$$$$Solidworks 2026 support: Desktop Connector now supports file operations for Solidworks 2026; including thumbnail previews and metadata extraction.$$$$$$Bug fixes and stability$$$Stability improvements$$$Fixed database-related crashes: Resolved crashes caused by internal database concurrency issues. Desktop Connector now uses a more reliable database connection strategy across all storage components; preventing intermittent crashes reported by some users.$$$$$$Fixed crash when signing in with a different user: Resolved a crash that could occur when signing out and signing back in with a different Autodesk account.$$$$$$Fixed crash during sign-in initialization: Resolved a crash that could occur during Desktop Connector startup related to identity service initialization.$$$$$$Fixed crash during startup: Resolved a crash that could occur during Desktop Connector startup.$$$$$$Fixed crash when restoring deleted files: Resolved a crash that could occur when choosing to restore files from the delete prompt.$$$$$$Fixed Revit freeze with Civil 3D topography links: Resolved an issue where Revit could freeze when opening models that include Civil 3D surfaces linked using the Link Topography tool.$$$$$$Sync reliability$$$Fixed copy and paste failures: Resolved an issue where copy-and-paste or drag-and-drop operations into a connected drive could fail if an application add-in process did not respond in time. Desktop Connector now helps users troubleshoot the error instead of only blocking the operation. For more information; view the Missing Components troubleshooting page.$$$$$$Fixed home screen not refreshing: Resolved an issue where the Desktop Connector home screen did not update after adding or subscribing to projects when the home screen was pinned or previously displayed the No projects selected message.$$$$$$Fixed folder status after freeing up space: Resolved an issue where a folders status could remain as sync pending in File Explorer after performing Free up space; even though the files inside the folder were correctly freed. The folder status now updates to Online as expected.$$$$$$Revit behavior changes and known issues$$$If you use Revit with Desktop Connector; review the updated Revit behavior changes and known issues before upgrading. Key items include:$$$$$$IFC links not loading in Revit 2026 and earlier: Revit 2026 and earlier versions have a known issue handling IFC link paths with Desktop Connector 2027.x. Revit 2027 includes the fix. If you cannot upgrade Revit yet; rolling back to a previous Desktop Connector version is a temporary workaround.$$$Autodesk Forma naming in link paths: Revit link paths now display Autodesk Forma:// instead of Autodesk Docs:// when using Desktop Connector 2027.x. This is a display-only change and does not affect functionality.$$$Slow Reload From for topography links is resolved in this release; as noted in Stability improvements above.

Whats new$$$Forma Document Management Essentials is now supported: Desktop Connector v2027.0 and later versions fully support Forma Document Management Essentials; letting you manage files directly from your desktop. Learn more about Forma Document Management Essentials.$$$Enhanced user experience$$$Helpful home screen for users without product access: If you sign in without the required entitlements; or without access to any projects; Desktop Connector now displays a dedicated home screen explaining why no connected drives are available; instead of showing a blank screen. The Select Projects dialog also no longer appears unexpectedly for users who have no entitlements or no available projects. Learn more about connected drives and access requirements.$$$$$$Copy a shareable web link from File Explorer: You can now right-click a file; folder; or project in File Explorer and select Copy web link to copy a shareable link to its online location in Forma or Fusion.

This makes it easier to understand why the operation failed and what to do next.$$$$$$Diagnostics improvements$$$Automatic detailed logging: Desktop Connector now maintains rolling detailed logs automatically; so diagnostic information is always available when you need support. Up to 100MB of log data is stored (approximately 1–2 weeks under typical use); and older logs are automatically removed to manage disk space. You no longer need to manually enable verbose logging before reproducing an issue.$$$File type support updates$$$Desktop Connector now supports automatic file locking for additional applications. Files automatically lock when opened and unlock when closed; preventing conflicts when multiple users work with the same file. Newly supported applications include:$$$$$$Adobe InDesign: InDesign files (.indd)$$$Bentley OpenRoads / MicroStation: Sheet Index files (.dgnsi) and Workset files (.dgnws)$$$Rhino: Rhino files (.3dm). Note that Rhino may automatically download files from its recently used list; even if you have not downloaded those files to your computer.$$$Trimble SketchUp: SketchUp files (.skp). Backup files (.skb) are also added to the exclusion list and are not uploaded to the cloud. Note that SketchUp may automatically download files from its recently used list; even if you have not downloaded those files to your computer.$$$Bug fixes and stability$$$Stability improvements$$$Fixed crash when deleting files: Resolved a crash that could occur while deleting a file.$$$$$$Fixed crash during workspace scanning: Resolved a crash in the workspace scanner caused by case-sensitive path comparisons; which could prevent scanning from completing.$$$$$$Fixed crash on startup with empty databases: Desktop Connector no longer crashes when it encounters a subscription database that has not been fully initialized.$$$$$$Fixed a startup crash: Resolved an issue that could cause Desktop Connector to crash on launch in some situations.$$$$$$Fixed crash with corrupt databases: Desktop Connector no longer crashes when a subscription database becomes invalid or corrupt. The application now handles these situations and continues operating.$$$$$$Improved long path handling during scanning: Desktop Connector now better handles files and folders with very long paths when scanning your workspace for changes; reducing errors during sync operations.$$$$$$Improved installer safety: The installer now handles situations where Desktop Connector folders in AppData have restricted permissions; preventing installation failures caused by permission issues.$$$$$$Sync reliability$$$Fixed sync failures when file names change case in Forma: Renaming a file in Forma to change only its capitalizatio
