I'm dealing with large data embedded (data tools) NWDs that are from Bentley AutoPLANT. I don't have access to the original files. I am removing certain sections of the model by hiding items. In order to permanently delete these items I then perform a DWF export which permanently deletes all hidden items. The problem arises when I open the DWF all the data that was "baked" into the NWD is gone. I have done this exercise with many other types of CAD software from CADWorx, Plant 3D, PDMS, PDS to name a few. All other platforms are able to retain the data when exporting from NWD to DWF. Any thoughts as to why the data won't make the journey to DWF?
