Welcome to Autodesk Shared Components (ASC) Help
Autodesk products share many pieces of functionality in various components, individual installable packages that have a specific purpose. Many of these components have been installed along with products that used them within their product's installation folder. This creates many duplicate copies of the components and creates challenges for product teams to update them.
Starting with our 2026 products, we have packaged these components in a single independent installer that installs in a common location for products to use. This saves space on system drives, simplifies installation, increases security for our customers, and makes it easy to update.
