Relatics provides users with the ability to relate and manage all data relevant to a systems engineering model. In some situations, however, it might be preferred that data be stored and edited in Autodesk. Therefore, it is possible to integrate Autodesk Docs with Relatics. If Autodesk Docs is integrated with Relatics, you can relate documents managed in Autodesk to your elements. The Relatics interface keeps the documents up to date by automatically synchronizing them. Thus, even when other applications also store files for your project in Autodesk Docs, you always have the current set of documents available in Relatics.

After integrating Autodesk Docs and connecting it to your workspace, you can choose which external type element will be filled (automatically) with data from Autodesk Docs. This data cannot be edited from within Relatics, but it will be synchronized. So changes made in Autodesk Docs will be automatically visible in the workspace.
