How do initialize Navisworks Application with custom xml file options

[dricosr]

Hi.

How do start Autodesk Navisworks,and imports the global options from the specified global options file from API?

For example, start Autodesk Navisworks,and imports the global options from the specified global options file from cmd:

"C:\Progra...\Roamer.exe" -options "C:\Options.xml" -nwd "C:\File.nwd" "C:\File.rvt"

How to execute this from API?

Hi,

sorry, I do not see an API which can load the option file.

if you just need to make sure some options are configured before appending a new Revit file, you may control the corresponding registry such as
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\Navisworks Manage x64\11.0\GlobalOptions\file_readers\LcNwcLoaderPlugin:lcldrevit

this is for the loader of Revit. But I cannot guarantee it could work. It is not our support scenario.
