Stunning Synchronized sales configurators
Toshiba Elevator and Building Systems employs the APS platform to share and synchronize design information
with customers over the internet. The company stores all project data in APS and integrates data between a sales
configurator, used to define specifications, and the design systems that house the CAD tools (Revit, AutoCAD,
and Inventor).

Collect and consolidate the data in the cloud
• AECOM uses APS to move data to the cloud, storing it in a single location and removing the burden from
local computers. This ensures that project stakeholders have on-demand access to data from any device and
location, creating a better level of transparency.

Autodesk Platform Services (formerly Forge) has moved
from Cloud Credits to Flex tokens on November 7 2022
A Flex token operates just like a Cloud Credit and cost the same as a Cloud Credit.
So, while most APIs are free of charge, the API usage rates for premium APIs will not change and are as
follows:

Premium APIs Cloud Credit (CC) cost Flex token (FT) cost
Design Automation API 2 CC per processing hour 2 FT per processing hour
0.5 CC per complex job 0.5 FT per complex job
Model Derivative API
0.1 CC per simple job 0.1 FT per simple job
Reality Capture API 1 CC per 50 photos uploaded 1 FT per 50 photos uploaded
