7.2.3. MicroStation .nwc Exporter
JetStream Roamer comes with MDL plugins for MicroStation 95, SE, /J and v8 that enable you to
export .nwc files directly from the CAD application in which it was created. As long as MicroStation is
already installed on the computer when JetStream is installed, the MDL plugin is installed with JetStream
on a Custom Install or Full Install and ready for use.
Note
If you install MicroStation after JetStream, then install JetStream again, choosing the Custom
Install option and choose the relevant version of MicroStation. The JetStream installer will find
the right place for the plugin and set up all relevant registry entries for you.
You can also publish .nwd files directly from MicroStation if you have the Publisher plugin. For more
details, refer to Section 22.3, Publishing from MicroStation ”.
There are two steps to exporting .nwc files from MicroStation - first you have to load the MDL plugin into
MicroStation and then you have to export the file.
Loading the NavisWorks MDL Plugin
Loading the NWExport MDL plugin manually
1. Go to the Utilities, Key-in dialog box to load the application manually.
2. Type "mdl load nwexport5" (without the quotes) and press return.
If you regularly export .nwc files from MicroStation, then you will not want to load the NWExport plugin
manually each time, so do the following:
Loading the NWExport MDL plugin automatically
1. Go to Workspace, Configuration.
2. Choose Design Applications under Category.
3. Choose NWEXPORT5 under Available Applications.
4. Click Add and confirm that you want NWExport added to your default configuration.
5. MicroStation will then automatically load NWExport in future sessions.
6. Click OK.
