    Hi Om_Bhartiya ,

    Unfortunately, there is no possibility that one can legally share a .mez connector file unless it’s an officially released or open-source connector.

    The supported way is to install the official Autodesk connector locally, set up an On-premises Data Gateway (Standard mode) with the .mez in the Custom Connectors folder, enable custom connectors, and map your dataset to the gateway. 

    Please go through the below documentation for your reference:

    Use custom data connectors with the on-premises data gateway - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

    Thank you.
