Using Batch Utility - Navisworks Simulate 2014

[Anonymous]

1) Batch Utility doesn't read .dri file as input while using batch utility to convert to .nwd

2) I had around 600+ files in a .txt file and had this input as list to the batch utility , It reads to a certain no (300+) and stops reading the files beyond that .

An error occurred: Failed to append file
-----------------------
Autodesk.Navisworks.Api.DocumentFileException: Failed to append file
   at Autodesk.Navisworks.Api.Document.AppendFile(String fileName)
   at Autodesk.Navisworks.FiletoolsTaskRunner.CNWTaskRunner.Run(CNWTaskInputFiles in_files, List`1 readable_file_exts)

Has anyone experienced this problem

Did you check the settings for the DGN and PDS reader in NW 2014 versus your old versions ?

I found once that on a new installation, "convert References" was Swithed ON, which caused the reading of PDS files go into a loop because A references B and B references A, swallowing up all the RAM of the batch machine.
