Import Sheets from Another ACC Project

In the Bridge tool, you can import sheets from other Autodesk Construction Cloud projects into your current project. To import sheets, you must:

• Be a project administrator on the project that you are importing into
• Have "View and export" permissions in the Sheets tool on the project you are importing from

To import sheets from another Autodesk Construction Cloud project:

1. In Autodesk Build, navigate to the Incoming tab in the Bridge tool.

2. Click Import and select Sheets.

   

3. In the Import sheets window, select a project to import sheets from.

4. Search for sheets by title and select the sheets that you want to import.

   Note: If the project you select has Sheets Collections enabled and multiple collections created, you can also search for sheets in specific collections.

5. If you would like to create an automation so that you always receive new versions of the selected sheets uploaded in the other project, select Automatically import new sheet versions.

   Note: When you create an automation and the project you are importing from is not bridged to the current project, a bridge will be created. The project will appear in the Bridged projects tab in Bridge and you can manage automations in the Bridge tool.

   

6. Click Review # sheets.

7. If the project you're importing into has collections turned on, you must select a collection for the content to go into.

   

8. Review what is being imported and optionally, you can add a message about the imported items to provide context. The message will appear in relevant emails and on the Detail page in Bridge.

9. Once ready, click Import # sheets or Import # sheets with automation as applicable based on your selection.

   Note: If the project you are importing into has Sheets Collections enabled and multiple sheet collections created, you must select a collection to add the selected sheets to.

The imported sheets can now be found in the Sheets tool. You can track imported sheets in the Incoming tab in the Bridge Tool.

In the Bridge tool, you can import files and folders from other Autodesk Construction Cloud projects into your current project. To import files and folders, you must have:

• View + Download permission or higher on the file or folder you want to import
• Edit permission or higher on the target folder in the current project

To import files and folders from another Autodesk Construction Cloud project:

   Note:
   • Automations are not supported on individual files. With this option selected, you can only select folders to import.
   • This will create a folder automation for each folder and each subfolder. You can manage this automation like pausing or deleting the automatic sync. Learn more
   • If the project you are importing from is not bridged to the current project, a bridge will be created. The project will appear in the Bridged projects tab.

7. Click Review.
