| Fixed Issues |
|---|
| Fixed an issue in which files with long paths could not be selected to fix missing references. |
| Fixed an issue in which files from mapped drive could not be selected and scanned correctly. |
| Fixed an issue in which clicking Next or Back to navigate in the issue list would trigger rescans. |
| Fixed an issue in which uploading sheet drawings with a relative path stored in a .dst file would not work properly after uploading to Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) Docs. |
| Fixed an issue files are mistakenly identified as folders while doing data integrity check. |
| Fixed an issue where checkboxes failed to function correctly when toggling items in the issue list to resolve them. |
| Improved stability when reopening or reselecting a folder in the Repair Local Data Integrity Issues tool. |
| Fixed an issue in which multiple nested references have issues, only one would display. |
| Known Issues |
|---|
| For migration tasks, if the final cloud destination will create a long path after migration, it will not be listed as a long path issue. |
| To resolve duplicate name issues, ensure that the uploaded source file is properly linked to the host drawing. Uploading an unlinked file may still result in broken reference links. |
| External references to Point Clouds and Coordination Models are not supported by DWG Integrity and Migration for Docs. |
| Data link references to .xlsx and .xls files may have the following problems. Broken references may not be detected and absolute paths will always report as an issue even after resolving it. |
| Large surface files (.mms, .grs) must reside in the same folder as the host DWG to ensure proper surface reading. If DWG Integrity and Migration for Docs is used to resolve issues with large surface files located outside the host DWG folder, the tool may show the issue as fixed, but broken links will still appear when opening the host DWG. |
| On the Data Migration function of this tool on the Data Selection page, selecting a new Docs location will refresh/reset the file tree unexpectedly. |
| Objects introduced after version C3D 2026.1 (such as ponds) are not included in DWG Integrity and Migration for Docs scans as data shortcut references. To ensure compatibility and support for these new objects, please install the latest Civil 3D Object Enabler released after 2026.1. |
| If you export a JSON file but continue to use Desktop Connector for subsequent uploads, you may encounter upload errors. In these cases, please use the Bulk Upload Tool for uploading. If Desktop Connector is used post-export, an integrity check of the project will be required again to identify and correct the potential errors. |
| When installing DWG Integrity and Migration for Docs 3.0 alongside Civil 3D 2023, you may encounter an installation failure caused by a version mismatch of ODIS between the two products. Update ODIS to the latest version before proceeding with the DWG Integrity and Migration for Docs installation. |
