Unless the DWG file has changed, then it updates or re-creates the NWC file. Next time you open the NWF file, it does not need to convert the DWG file anymore, it reads out the NWC file. For each CAD model attached (drawing1.dwg), Navisworks creates an drawing1.nwc as a cache file.
If you create an NWD for them without their own models, they can see all that is not theirs togehter with their models (provided they have Simulate and have an NWF that has their models attached and this NWD attached. When you start with Simulate (or Manage), you create an NWF file. if you include their files in the NWD you send them, they will see their own models twice when they use the NWD in conjunction with their models. It is a good practice to make strikt devisions between your files and theirs. So if you provide an NWD to a 3rd party with all these files, you do not need to send any source DWG's. Simulate can also merge all files into one NWD file.ĪutoCAD, Revit and inventor 2016 can also append NWD files as collaboration models. NWC files can be attached directly also, so with a set of one NWF and it's attached NWC files, they can see everyting. Some products, like Revit or others can have a Navisworks file exporter and create the NWC file there. Click Attach.When you start with Simulate (or Manage), you create an NWF file.įor each CAD model attached (drawing1.dwg), Navisworks creates an drawing1.nwc as a cache file. From the current drawing, select the tool located on the ribbon, Insert tab, Reference panel. You can import either an NWC or NWD file. How do I import Navisworks into AutoCAD?ĪutoCAD and its vertical applications, including Plant 3D, allow you to import a Navisworks model into a drawing, improving coordination between applications. Navisworks can also export a FBX file, which then can be imported into AutoCAD. While Navisworks will not directly export to a DWG or DXF format, it will export to a DWF, which then can be attached as an external reference within AutoCAD. Expand the File Exporters node in the Options Editor, and click the DWG page.
Navisworks does contain the ability to export to DWF.
