Autodesk Buzzsaw

With the Autodesk® Buzzsaw™ API you can customize your applications and extend the Buzzsaw functionality to meet your company’s needs. With Microsoft® Visual Basic® or Visual C++® you can build applications to manipulate files and folders on your Buzzsaw site using the Internet standard WebDAV protocol. With this API you can upload, download, copy, move, and delete files and folders. This API is intended to be used by third-party developers and IT managers in large organizations. It is not intended for the average Autodesk Buzzsaw user (architects, owners, or contractors).
