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.

Inputs ​

FieldTypeRequiredDescription
Hub NameTextYesThe name of the ACC hub containing the target project.
Project NameTextYesThe name of the project within the hub.
File IdentifierTextYesThe identifier of the file to retrieve. Accepts a full file path (e.g. Project Files/PROJ001/DRAWINGS/test.txt), a lineage URN, or a version URN.
Download FileCheckboxNoWhen enabled, downloads the file to the working folder and provides its local path as the DownloadedFile output.

Outputs ​

NameDescription
AccFileThe file object retrieved from ACC, including metadata and any custom attributes defined on the file.
DownloadedFile(Download File only) The local path to the downloaded file in the working folder.
