Export of Navis sections into AutoCAD ?

Anonymous — Fri, 05 Mar 2021 15:02:22 GMT

Hi Team

is it possible to create 2D section in Navisworks Simulator and export to AutoCAD so that it can be further detailed?

No, in navisworks only images of a section.

But you can import in autoCAD the NWC files as external reference

have you tried printing to a Vector PDF? then the PDF could be brought into AutoCAD and converted.

@hmunsell did you try this solution that you said? it worked??

Nope, Never had a need to 😊. Just throwing it out there as an option to try since AutoCAD can import a Vector PDF and convert it to linework.
