Attempting to use the batch utility to generate our NWD model nightly.  I am able to run the command line provided through CMD prompt without issue, but when running it as a task it fails.  I have enabled logging and here is the log file:

 

----------------------

Autodesk Navisworks Batch Utility
---------------------------------

Loading C:\PROJECTS\APPS\NWF_TEMP\2012-055 Complete Model.nwf
Saving C:\PROJECTS\APPS\NWF_TEMP\2012-055 Complete Model.nwd
An error occurred: Failed to save 2012-055 Complete Model.nwd
-----------------------
Autodesk.Navisworks.Api.DocumentFileException: Failed to save 2012-055 Complete Model.nwd
   at Autodesk.Navisworks.Api.Document.SaveFile(String fileName, DocumentFileVersion fileVersion)
   at Autodesk.Navisworks.FiletoolsTaskRunner.CNWTaskRunner.Run(CNWTaskInputFiles in_files, List`1 readable_file_exts)

 

-----------------------

HEre is the command line:

 

 "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Navisworks Manage 2014\FiletoolsTaskRunner.exe" /i "C:\PROJECTS\NWD_MODEL.txt" /of "C:\PROJECTS\APPS\NWF_TEMP\2012-055 Complete Model.nwd" /log "C:\Navis.txt" /version 2012

 

 

 

We have a few other projects running this exact command line through a scheduled task without issue.  I have even pulled this batch file from the machine and placed it on another machine and it runs as a scheduled task without issue.  Truly at a loss on this one.  Any help is appreciated. 

 

 

 

Thanks

Hi there,

 

This sounds like a permission issue.  Somehow your scheduled task may be starting with insufficient rights, check the account the scheduled task is running on.
