Autodesk BIM Collaborate

Big Changes Are Coming: Say Hello to the Model Management Bundle

Heads-up:

Autodesk is updating its model coordination offerings starting July 2025. BIM Collaborate will no longer be available for new purchases or renewals.

If you’re currently using BIM Collaborate, you may need to reassign licenses to maintain access.

Autodesk is evolving its model coordination ecosystem — and that means changes are coming to BIM Collaborate. Starting July 2025 (FY’26 Q2), Autodesk is rolling out a new and improved offering: the Model Management Bundle.
This updated solution replaces and expands upon what BIM Collaborate offered, giving teams even more value, flexibility, and collaboration tools.

Why the Change?

BIM Collaborate is being phased out, but don’t worry—its core capabilities aren’t going anywhere. They’re being rolled into new, more powerful bundles designed to improve how teams manage and coordinate models across disciplines and project phases. MicroCAD will guide you through every step to ensure a smooth transition.

Model Management Updates – What You Need to Know
Autodesk is rolling out key updates to its Model Management tools starting in FY’26 Q2 (July 2025). These updates aim to streamline offerings and bring even more value to model-based workflows. And don’t worry—MicroCAD is here to make the transition easy for you.
What’s New for Standard Subscriptions (Non-EBA)
The Virtual Design & Construction Bundle is expanding to include Recap Pro and Navisworks Manage, and it’s getting a new name: the Model Management Bundle. A standalone Navisworks Manage subscription now includes additional tools: Model Coordination, Design Collaboration, Docs, and Insight. Autodesk BIM Collaborate (ABC) will be phased out for new sales or renewals, but its features remain accessible through ABC Pro, Navisworks Manage, or the new Model Management Bundle.

Updates for Enterprise Business Agreements (EBAs)

Introducing ACC Model Management, which includes:

ACC Design Collaboration
ACC Document Management
ACC Model Coordination
(Plus optional access to Assemble and BIM 360 for existing customers.)
BIM Collaborate and Assemble will no longer be available as standalone options.
Navisworks Manage will continue unchanged for EBA clients.

License Reassignment – What to Expect

Depending on your new subscription, license assignments may or may not need to be updated:

Switching to the new Model Management Bundle?
No action required—your users will retain their access.

Switching to Navisworks or ABC Pro?
You’ll need to reassign licenses either individually or in bulk (admin-only).

Keep in mind: Users still on ABC will lose access after a 30-day grace period if not reassigned.

Why These Changes Matter

The Model Management Bundle goes beyond just software,it’s designed to help your teams work smarter and more collaboratively. By integrating Autodesk’s model-based solutions, it streamlines workflows, improves interoperability across BIM tools, and adapts to any project type or team structure. It connects all stakeholders from design through construction to handover, ensuring everyone stays aligned and your projects stay on track.

Pricing / Packaging:

Account-based license (unlimited access)
Fixed price for full contract term
