Access Buzzsaw for Project Collaboration
Using Autodesk
®
Buzzsaw
®
you can store, manage, and share documents that
populate a Buzzsaw site.
Buzzsaw is a secure, online project collaboration service in which members
in different locations can post files to and access files from a centralized site.
You can save files, send transmittal sets, and publish sheets to Buzzsaw.
You can get a free 30-day trial subscription when you follow the procedures
to access Buzzsaw, or from the Autodesk website. Your Buzzsaw subscription
includes user licenses to access Buzzsaw. When you invite your consultants
and contractors to your site, the Buzzsaw software is automatically downloaded.
Prepare to Use Buzzsaw
To use Buzzsaw, you must already have a project hosting account or be given
access to a subscriber's Buzzsaw site. The subscriber will provide you with the
Buzzsaw URL, user name, and password so that you can log in, access, and
post files.
Use Buzzsaw
You can access Buzzsaw from several standard file selection dialog boxes (such
as New or Open). The Buzzsaw icon is displayed in the Places list for quick
access.
Support for Autodesk Buzzsaw services includes the following features:
■ Sheet Set Manager Support. Stores information necessary to publish sheet
sets and transmittal sets. For more information about the Sheet Set
Manager, see
Work with Sheets in a Sheet Set on page 431.
■ Publish Support. Publish DWF or DWFx files directly to Autodesk Buzzsaw
locations. For more information about publishing to an Autodesk Buzzsaw
location, see Set Publish Options on page 1646.
■ eTransmit Support. You can send a transmittal set of DWG files to a
Buzzsaw site and you can create and send a transmittal set using the Sheet
Set Manager.
If you plan to use Buzzsaw for project collaboration, set up some shortcuts so
you can navigate to frequently used sites more quickly. Using the Buzzsaw
icon in the Places list, you can specify a shortcut to an existing project
collaboration site from the list or create a new shortcut using the Add a Buzzsaw
Location Shortcut.
