Excerpt:
"Autodesk and Trimble Announce Interoperability Agreement
The software and technology companies will exchange APIs and developer tools to smooth the workflow for designers who use their products."
...
"Designers have long asked for software companies to embrace more open standards to ease file sharing and collaboration among project teams, whose employers may not or do not want to invest in licenses for the myriad AEC programs."
...
"Trimble and Autodesk are both members of BuildingSmart International’s OpenBIM initiative, and both have similar interoperability agreements with Bentley Systems, which develops MicroStation and AECOsim. In May 2015, Trimble announced a strategic alliance with Nemetschek, the maker of Vectorworks, and in March 2016, Autodesk announced an alliance with Siemens to better align their product-lifecycle-management software packages. “We believe in open standards and workflows for the benefit of the entire industry,” Sawyer says."
