Download ACC File ​

Downloads a file from Autodesk Construction Cloud to the automation working folder.

Purpose ​

Use this task when a workflow needs to work with a file stored in ACC locally, such as for document conversion, parsing, archiving, or any other processing that operates on files in the working folder. The task accepts a flexible identifier so it can be used after a Get ACC File task or with a raw file path directly. Both the downloaded file path and the file metadata are made available to downstream tasks.

Inputs ​

FieldTypeRequiredDescription
Hub NameTextYesThe name of the ACC hub containing the target project. This can be found in the ACC web app under accounts.
Project NameTextYesThe name of the project within the hub. This can be found in the ACC web app under projects.
File IdentifierTextYesThe identifier of the file to download. Accepts a full file path (e.g. Project Files/PROJ001/DRAWINGS/test.txt), a lineage URN, or a version URN.

Outputs ​

NameDescription
DownloadedFileThe full local path to the downloaded file within the automation working folder. Pass this to downstream tasks that process files by path.
AccFileThe file metadata object from ACC. Pass this to tasks that need to reference ACC-specific file properties alongside the downloaded content.
