To learn more about this offering, please review the FAQ.
This article is intended to point out some important details about this change for ACC customers.
What You Should Know:
- As with the hubs in the US and EU, contract managers need to first activate a hub in any of the above regions and invite others to the hub before anyone in the organization can access the hub.
- A new button has been added to the ACC Home page that allows users to easily switch between ACC hub regions.
.
NOTE: If a user selects a region from this list in which he/she does not yet have an active ACC hub or before they have been invited to a hub in that region, a new trial hub will be created in that region under the user's email. To avoid this, a user should first wait until they have been invited to an active hub in a region before using the "Switch region" tool. - The ACC Bridge tool does not allow files to be shared between projects in different regions.
- The Autodesk Replication Tool (ART) can be used to migrate project data from one hub to another hub, whether in the same region or a different region,
