Five versions of the 64-bit Exporter, 2008-2012Īs you can probably imagine, we're unable to maintain an ever increasing number of prior versions. Nine versions of the 32-bit Exporter, 2004-2012. Nine versions of DWG, AutoCAD 2004-2012,. You can usually expect to find support for three previous versions. Object Enablers can also be installed and configured for Navisworks, meaning that it can support custom objects and properties from say, Civil 3D, or other third party AutoCAD-based apps. Navisworks includes RealDWG, which effectively means that it can open DWG files as though it's vanilla-AutoCAD, thereby ensuring file fidelity. One of the benefits of using the exporter is that you can then distribute a more compressed, un-editable version of the model, and you know the receiver will view the model as intended (that is, you don't have any concerns over the use of Object Enablers, as discussed here). With the exporters (either installed as part of the Navisworks product, or as a separate standalone installer) you can export a Navisworks Cache file (NWC) directly from your AutoCAD-based app. 
Here we provide both options, file exporters and file readers. In this post I wanted to specifically discuss support for AutoCAD, and AutoCAD-based applications. This is achieved through a combination of file exporters and file readers:Īnd this list continues to grow with your teams' requirements to collaborate with an increasingly diverse supply chain, including manufacturers and fabricators. Navisworks supports a diverse range of authoring applications and laser scan formats.
And if you think about it, Navisworks supports and actively encourages this philosophy – by bringing together all project contributors to create a greater whole. We all know that if we work together then, as Aristotle put it, "the whole is greater than the sum of its parts". If you have no idea what I'm talking about – and there's a good chance you won't if you live outside of the UK – check out this clip for reference, taken from the UK comedy show, The IT Crowd.
