Looks like Autodesk countered VectorWork's "Open BIM" pretty quickly... The acquisition of Vela systems appears to be the final piece of the puzzle. Personally, I can't wait to see what this will evolve into over the next few years. If you check out the services link below you will find something new called "Autodesk BIM 360 Glue"... As Greg pointed out this looks similar to the Vela Systems application... Interesting...
