Discover how ARKANCE’s Connector tool revolutionizes data transfer and collaboration in the construction industry.
Introduction
In today’s construction environment, efficiency isn’t optional—it’s essential. Have you ever wondered how much easier your day-to-day could be?
If you’ve ever spent hours downloading, renaming, and re-uploading files between Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) and Bluebeam, you’re not alone. These two platforms power nearly every stage of the construction workflow. ACC handles project and document management, while Bluebeam excels at markup and review - yet they’ve traditionally operated in silos.
That disconnect has meant extra steps, duplicated work, and the constant risk of version errors. But what if you could connect them?
That’s exactly what the ARKANCE ACC-Bluebeam Connector was built to do.
During our recent webinar, we demonstrated exactly how the Connector bridges these two platforms.
At ARKANCE, we believe that resilient workflows are both connected and adaptable. The ACC Bluebeam Connector is a purpose-built solution that lets stakeholders use the tools they trust, while preserving the document validation and approval workflows. Digital transformation should never mean sacrificing flexibility; it should empower it."

The Challenge: Manual Processes, Missed Opportunities
Every construction professional knows the struggle:
- Download from ACC → Upload to Bluebeam → Download again → Re-upload the revised version.
- Files get renamed. Versions get lost. Markups disappear.
- Teams waste valuable time chasing updates instead of moving projects forward.
This manual back-and-forth introduces unnecessary risk and slows project timelines, especially when multiple reviewers or large file sets are involved. This tool was created to solve this exact challenge by connecting ACC and Bluebeam directly, without the manual steps.
ACC Bluebeam Connector: How It Works
The ARKANCE ACC Bluebeam Connector simplifies the data transfer process by automating the movement of PDFs, sheets, and other data from ACC to Bluebeam and back. This ensures that the data remains consistent, reducing the risk of discrepancies and maintaining a single source of truth.
Key Features:
- Direct Cloud-to-Cloud Transfers: Move documents instantly between ACC and Bluebeam without downloading to local drives.
- Automatic Version Control: Every return upload creates a new version in ACC — maintaining a full audit trail and preserving markups.
- Web-Based Access: Manage sessions and transfers anywhere, anytime, through a simple browser interface.
- Session & Project Management: Start, manage, and monitor Bluebeam Sessions directly from the Connector — including participant invites and permissions.
- Secure, Role-Based Access: Integrates with your existing ACC and Bluebeam permissions to protect project data integrity.
Why Teams Love It
Early adopters report up to a 90% reduction in time spent transferring data — but speed isn’t the only win. The Connector helps project teams:
- Work from a single source of truth with consistent file versions.
- Eliminate duplicate uploads and downloads.
- Reduce risk of lost or outdated markups.
- Collaborate faster across distributed teams.
- Stay audit-ready with version histories automatically maintained.
Conclusion: Working Smarter Starts Here
The ARKANCE ACC-Bluebeam Connector redefines how teams collaborate by connecting two of the construction industry’s most essential tools. No more wasted time, no more file chaos — just a single, automated workflow that keeps your data clean, current, and connected.
As construction technology continues to evolve, ARKANCE is leading the charge toward a truly integrated ecosystem — one where every team member, platform, and project stays in sync.
