Installation includes samples of work orders that can be configured to reflect structure of a typical work order. Administrators downloading the app will be requested to enable the UDH app integration with Autodesk Construction Cloud site and grant access to users. This UDH Design to Cloud plug–in is fully configurable to enable seamless integration of your AutoCAD design process with Autodesk Construction Cloud in the enterprise workflow. 

Once you install the UDH plug–in for AutoCAD, the workflow is quite straightforward. 

A job is assigned to a designer (a work order is created in EAM/WMS). The designer can view the list of assigned work orders in the Work Order Browser. When the design is linked to the work order, UDH connects to Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC), creates the appropriate folders, and uploads the DWG drawing into the ACC repository as shown in the screenshots:

Once uploaded, the design can be viewed in the Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) Document Management repository:

UDH plug–in for AutoCAD allows you to create versions and track file activities in the ACC repository as shown in the diagrams:

You may use this UDH plug–in to configure a role-based security in AutoCAD. For example, in this trial version SBS has configured two basic roles: Administrator and User. Each role has different access privileges to execute AutoCAD commands: 

Administrator Privileges: 

• View the settings tab within the UDH Palette Set 
• See the Work Order Refresh option in the UDH Work Management Sub menu 
• See the UDH Settings  option in the UDH Work Management Sub menu 
• Run the AutoCAD DWGPROPS command 
• View the Circles option on the AutoCAD home tab  

User Privileges: 

• See the Polyline option on the AutoCAD home tab 

Automated Utility Design™ (AUD) product for electric, gas, water, and telecom utilities extends AutoCAD drafting with model-based design tools. AutoCAD graphic elements in AUD represent real-world objects with unique identifiers, 3D graphics, properties, and relationships that are used to update GIS systems via a bi-directional interface. 

SBS intelligent design solutions ensure that designs are efficient, accurate, and subject to proper governance. Users can work within the AutoCAD based design application while seamlessly accessing information from enterprise business systems including GIS, work management, cost estimation, materials management, finance, engineering analysis, and mobile and field operation.
