What it can do

  • Lists the products and release codes it covers, so a search can be scoped to one product and version.
  • Searches Autodesk Help and Support articles, including error messages, install and licensing topics, in several languages.
  • Hosted by Autodesk at a public endpoint with no sign-in or API key.

Limitations

  • Documentation only; it cannot read, edit or create drawings, models or project files.
  • Coverage is the 2023–2026 help sets in Autodesk's appendix; AutoCAD Electrical, AutoCAD Plant 3D and InfoWorks ICM are not in that list.
  • Autodesk says the tool list may change over time, so rely on the client's tool discovery.
