Issues with Exporting IAM to NWD

[BeKirra]

I can't figure out saving assembly to Navisworks NWD) with specified model state.

Here is my thread posted in Navisworks forum.

Thanks in advance.

Hi, I remember speaking to the Navisworks team about this, but it was quite a while ago. There's definitely limitations on what model states you can bring in. I will try and find out more for you.

If you go to Global options and Inventor you can set it to use the last active model state. 
'Last active representation'

Hi! Try this to see if it works for the time being. Place the assembly to another Inventor assembly. Keep the top-level Model State in Primary. Activate the desirable Model State in the subassembly. Then export it to Navisworks.

Many thanks!

Thanks.

It works although it is not what I am looking for.

It is better than nothing.

Hope I can see the function in the next Navisworks update or release.

Also thanks to @johnsonshiue.

It will work, but sorry, I don't prefer to create another assembly file.
