Cadworx plant to Navisworks

[Monicavillar]

Hi! I´m new in Navisworks Manager and I have problems with the conversion from Cadworx plant.

I need to convert with Navisworks from .dwg to .nwd but when I open the file in Navis I loose the properties of all the components, I can´t see the pipes properly.

Does anyone know why ?or... how I have to save the file in Cadworx?

 -Navisworks manager version: 2016

 -Cadworks plant version : 2015

Thanks a lot!

download the Navisworks Exporters from http://www.autodesk.com/products/navisworks/autodesk-navisworks-nwc-export-utility
I beleive you need to choose the version equal to your AutoCAD version, so 2015.
After installing you should have an NWCout command in AutoCAD that can create an NWC with CADworx properties in NWC 2015 format.
This file then can be appended in Navisworks 2016 and saved as an NWD in 2016 format, or saved-as in 2015 and 2014 format

Thanks a lot Patrick_Aps_9121 for your answer !!

your advice was very helpful!!

I finally found another way to do it changing settings on Navisworks but I´ll save your advice just in case of having ptoblems again, it´s practical.

Monicavillar, to see CADWorx in Navisworks, you said you found an other way by changing some settings in Navisworks.  Do you remember what they were?  I really would appreciate.  Thanks

Hi, ask to your CADWorx dealer for the CADWorx Object Enabler or you cand find it in your installation disc, install it using administrator rights, restart your machine, then using Navisworks Simulate / Manage, save it as NWD, it can be oppened with Navisworks Freedom!! even you can lik it with MS Access / Excel to view as many information as you want!.
