Get ACC File

Retrieves a file from Autodesk Construction Cloud along with its custom attributes, with an option to download it to the working folder.

Purpose

Use this task when a workflow needs to reference or act on a specific file in ACC. It accepts either a file path or a file identifier, so it works regardless of how the upstream system provides file references. Enable Download File when a downstream task needs the actual file content — for example, to publish, convert, or upload it elsewhere.
