Autodesk and Trimble have entered into a multiyear agreement to exchange sets of their architectural, engineering and construction software products, together with the native application programming interfaces (APIs), software licenses for development and testing and support to help the companies build and market interoperable products.
The agreement is similar to a 2008 agreement between Bentley Systems and Autodesk and a 2014 agreement between Bentley and Trimble that are widely credited for improving interoperability between their respective AEC products.
