    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.

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

    Thank you.
