Set Viewpoint Position Using command line

Hello Team.

How I can set the viewpoint position using command line while opening nwd file. I am trying using the below script.

Position.Test : this is the plugin file where I have created to set the view point position. but I want to send this using command line arguments.

Assuming oPoint is Point3D from command arguments.

Document oDoc = Autodesk.Navisworks.Api.Application.ActiveDocument; Viewpoint oCurrVCopy = oDoc.CurrentViewpoint.CreateCopy; oCurrVCopy.PointAt(oPoint); oDoc.CurrentViewpoint.CopyFrom(oCurrVCopy);

Hello @tetsuya_miwa ,

I am trying to open navis work from batch file .

If I install navisworks first time by default there wont be any plugin available. So I can create the plugin from command line ? or is there any way to generate this? I am not using any asp .net application.

Create your own plugin by c# or VB.net and place the dll file in the correct folder.

Navisworks will load it automatically.

Not somewhere. The default place of plugin is stricktly fixed. Then command line arguments can find corresponding plugin by class name only.

Thanks for information @tetsuya_miwa and it working for me. 🙂

Do we have any arguments where I can pass strage url of nwd file ? as this is a big file and we cant donwload everytime. So I wanted to use CDN or Azure Storage for avoid multiple downlaod.

"%userprofile%\NavisProject\100000000715815-1000.nwd" --> how to provide network file which are present in either LAN storage or Azure Storage.?
