Get familiar with the Migration Program Overview and learn more below.
Before Migration
Try out Content Catalog – Upload a small set of content for testing only and gain familiarity with how Content Catalog works. It should be an easy transition for end users to easily search and insert content within the intuitive new interface. Note that features do vary between the products, and administration functions are now accessible in Autodesk Construction Cloud’s (ACC) admin portal. There are many resources to get you familiar with the new admin feature layout at help.contentcatalog.autodesk.com.
Internal Admin Training
Prepare your Admin users for migration and rollout so they are familiar with Content Catalog and managing user and content through the ACC Admin portal.
Unwanted Collections
If you have collections that you don't want migrated, these should be removed from UNIFI prior to migration. All active content will be migrated.
Pending Uploads
These items are officially out of scope for migration. We suggest that you have no pending content at the time of migration.
Backup Downloadable Content
We recommend you have all content downloaded for backup from UNIFI, as well as any content you have in Content Catalog, as Content catalog will be cleared for migration.
Backup Insert-only Content
We recommend you have the following categories backed up in a container file (.rvt) by inserting into this file for future extraction if needed.
Sheets
Drafting views o Walls
Roofs o Floors
Cable trays o Conduit
Flex pipes
Any other Revit system components in UNIFI
Shared Libraries
This feature isn't available in Content Catalog and will not transfer. This means that connections to other companies that you had in place in UNIFI will be lost as you migrate to Content Catalog. If you are the owner or “sharer” of a shared library, the content stored in that library will be migrated to Content Catalog.
If you wish to remove the connections as they will no longer be editable once the account is disabled, you should do so by removing access.
Note, if you’d like to continue to share content across external collaborators once you’ve migrated to Content Catalog, content sharing across ACC hubs is possible.
Channels
Channels will not transfer as manufacturer content is not currently available in Content Catalog. You can select all (CTRL+A) content in a channel when viewing a blank search of the channel and right click to choose “copy to library,” to copy content from any public channels in UNIFI to your own collections to be migrated. Autodesk OOTB content for countries/regions will be available as channels to subscribe to.
Content Requests
This feature is not transferable and isn't yet released in Content Catalog. A private beta of the content request workflow in Content Catalog is currently underway, you can register here.
Migration Details
Migration = One Time Copy
The migration service only makes a copy of what you have and cannot reconfigure how you have content organized. Therefore, if you wish to reconfigure or “clean out”, we will recommend you do so prior to the migration or consider migrating manually.
Content Catalog Reset
Your Content Catalog instance on your specified ACC account, must be wiped and reset by Autodesk before anything can be done including User check. This must be done to prevent duplicates and provide a simpler compare for review.
ACC Members Check
UNIFI users must have a matching ACC member email to be migrated. We will provide a list of missing users from UNIFI to add to ACC. Users must meet the User Add Requirements for Content Catalog.
Custom Preview Images
These will be transferred and will remain the preferred custom review image for future uploads until it is changed.
Custom Presets for Preview Images
These will not transfer, the default preview setting is “Top, Front, Right, Realistic, Fine”.
Review and Rollout (30 day period)
Corrupt Content
We may uncover content that is corrupt in UNIFI in this process. If it is corrupt in UNIFI it will be corrupt in CC. Please download and review this content for errors.
Bugs or Migration Issues
If there is an issue with a common thread among many items this is likely a bug or a migration issue, please report these to Adam and Scott.
