Known Limitations
Autodesk Data Exchange Connector for Revit 2026
- A compatible version of the Dynamo Connector for Autodesk Data Exchange Connector for Revit 2026 is unavailable. We will provide updates on its availability in the future.
- Exchanges require a 3D view in Revit to be included in the list of Views.
- Data Exchange operations are not supported on Family Editor.
- If you delete an exchange accidentally, you can find and restore it in Autodesk Docs, but the link with the Revit Document gets removed.
- Revit Cloud Work-sharing workflows require synchronization of the local model with the central model before updating an exchange. If you attempt to update an exchange with unsynchronized changes, it may cause failures.
- Exchanges may not get updated automatically from the linked Revit models.
- When you create an exchange for the first time, you will notice that the Save to panel that displays the list of target folders takes a longer time to synchronize and load the folders from Autodesk Docs.
- For smooth operation of Data Exchange in the connector, ensure the host Revit software is in idle mode and not in edit mode.
- The Autodesk Data Exchange Connector for Revit supports special characters in input fields, excluding characters <>:"/|?.`*.
Autodesk Data Exchange Connector for Revit 2025
- Dimensions may not be retained if geometry changes introduce new surfaces or planes. Dimensions will be retained when only the element location is updated, without any geometry changes.
- Exchanges require a 3D view in Revit to be included in the list of Views.
- Data Exchange operations are not supported on Family Editor.
