You can export drawings to the Navisworks format .nwd.
Exporting to .nwd and .nwc
To export a drawing to Navisworks:
- Go to File > Import & Export > Export Drawing:
-
In the Save as dialog that appears, select a file destination, name the file, select file type (.nwd or .nwc) and click the Save button. Please note that NWC files are not intended for general use. They contain a cached version of the converted model geometry and are created by the Navisworks exporters to allow users to pass files into Navisworks to be saved in the NWF or NWD file format. They are also created when you open a model in Roamer to load the model more quickly the next time it is opened. This will direct you to the Export Navisworks drawing dialog where you can select the export settings:
The Export Navisworks (nwd) dialog- In the Scale and unit field, choose the Scale by using one of the buttons or by entering a value in the text box to the right. Continue to set a Distance unit. You can choose to pick the scale from your 2D View Clips, given that the Paper View option has been enabled in the Export section below.
- The Export field enables you to determine what drawing information you want to export: your current 2D View, 3D View, or Paper View. For Paper Views, you can choose to export All active papers, which will export all papers into one file and display them as a series, or only the Current Paper.
- To specify what part of the drawing you would like to export, check the Filter box and then click the Filter settings button.
- Click on OK when you have finished your selections.
