Exporting 2013 .nwc files from Autocad 2014

I currently work with AutoCAD 2014 and Navisworks Manage 2014, but need to send files to an architect who is using Navisworks Manage 2013.  How can I export a .nwc file to 2013 using AutoCAD 2014?

Would it not work just sending the DWG from AutoCAD 2014 to the architect? The DWG-version should be 2013 in A2014.

Yes.  That is how we are currently getting around the issue.  But the architect insists that he wants .nwc files so I'm trying to find out if it is possible for me to provide them.

As an interim solution, you might provide NWD files.  These can be downsaved to earlier versions of Navisworks.  If the 2013 exporters won't install onto AutoCAD 2014, and the 2014 exporters don't give you any version options, then you may need to keep using the NWDs.

you can usually download and install 2013 Autodesk Navisworks exporter plugin.  try searching for that and you should be able to nwcout the file.

The 2013 Exporters cannot be installed on AutoCAD 2014 since AutoCAD 2014 did not exist when the 2013 Exporters were created. I would echo dgorsman and suggest saving as an NWD if possible.
