NEWS
AutoDeskR 0.5.0 (2026-05-28)
New Functions
autodeskr_mcp_tools() — expose all AutoDeskR API functions to AI models
via the Model Context Protocol (MCP); credentials are read from environment
variables so no token argument is required. Requires ellmer and mcptools.waitForPhotoscene() — poll checkPhotoscene() until a Reality Capture
photoscene processing job completes.
Infrastructure
AutoDeskR 0.4.0
New Functions
translateSvf2() — translate design files to SVF2 format (~30% smaller than
SVF, faster rendering in the Viewer).createPhotoscene(), uploadImages(), processPhotoscene(),
checkPhotoscene() — Reality Capture API for photogrammetry and 3D model
generation from images.waitForFile() — poll checkFile() until a Model Derivative translation
completes.waitForWorkItem() — poll checkPdf() until a Design Automation WorkItem
completes.is_expired() — check whether an aps_token has expired.aps_error() — structured S3 error condition for APS API failures; catch
with tryCatch(..., aps_error = function(e) ...).
Improvements
getToken() now returns an aps_token object with expiry tracking
($expires_at, is_expired()). Existing code using
resp$content$access_token continues to work unchanged.- All API functions now accept an
aps_token object in place of a raw token
string. Expired tokens trigger a warning.
- API errors now include decoded JSON messages from APS rather than raw HTTP
error text.
as_tibble() methods added for listBuckets and listObjects response
objects (requires the tibble package).
Infrastructure
- Minimum R version bumped from 2.10.0 to 4.1.0.
tibble added to Suggests.
AutoDeskR 0.3.0
Bug Fixes
- Fixed
<- arrow-assignment bugs in getData(), getObjectTree(),
translateObj(), translateStl(), and getOutputUrn() roxygen examples.
- Fixed unreachable
vr template branch in viewerUI().
Major Changes
- Updated viewer CDN URLs from deprecated
viewingservice/v1/viewers/ to
modelderivative/v2/viewers/7.*. Templates also modernized to use
Autodesk.Viewing.GuiViewer3D and Document.load() (v7 API).
- Added
req_timeout(60) to all API requests.
- Updated all remaining "AutoDesk Forge" terminology to "AutoDesk Platform
Services (APS)" across README, vignettes, and HTML templates.
New Functions
uploadFileSigned() — signed S3 URL upload supporting files of any size.
Infrastructure
- Added
Config/testthat/edition: 3 for testthat 3rd-edition behavior.
- Added
print() S3 methods for all 18 response classes.
- Expanded test coverage: NULL-token guards for all functions, DELETE mock
fixtures,
downloadFile JSON response path.
AutoDeskR 0.2.0
Breaking Changes
checkPdf(): The source and destination parameters are now deprecated.
Pass the WorkItem id (from makePdf()$content$id) as the new id
parameter instead. Using the old parameters issues a deprecation warning.
Major Changes
- Migrated HTTP backend from
httr to httr2. All HTTP errors now raise R
errors rather than warnings.
- Authentication updated from the deprecated v1 endpoint
(
/authentication/v1/authenticate, end-of-life May 2024) to the v2 endpoint
(/authentication/v2/token).
- Design Automation API updated from the retired AutoCAD.io v2 endpoint to the
Design Automation v3 API (
/da/us-east/v3/workitems).
downloadFile(): Added optional destfile parameter and correct handling of
binary (non-JSON) responses.- Bug fix:
viewerUI() viewerType validation logic was always evaluating to
TRUE; corrected to properly reject invalid types.
New Functions
listBuckets() — list all app-managed buckets.deleteBucket() — delete an app-managed bucket.listObjects() — list objects stored in a bucket.deleteObject() — delete an object from a bucket.translateStl() — translate a design file into STL format.
Infrastructure
- Added a
testthat + httptest2 test suite covering input validation and
mocked API responses. No real AutoDesk credentials are required to run tests.
