• Click Drive on the Collaborate toolbar.
Note
Upon clicking the drive button, all other users in the call will receive a message advising that you
are requesting control. They will have to answer Yes to this message if you are to drive
JetStream on their machine.
Although realtime navigation in JetStream can be performed on all machines in a call by one user, it is not
possible for review data such as saved viewpoints, comments and redlines, to be automatically updated
on all users' machines. This information can however be updated on their machines by refreshing the
model. This refresh process can be performed on one users machine and refresh all machines in the call.
To refresh all attendees machines:
• Click Refresh on the Collaborate toolbar.
16.7. SwitchBack
SwitchBack allows the current view of the currently loaded file to be sent back to AutoCAD (version 2004
or later) or MicroStation-based CAD products.
Note
The native CAD package must be installed on the same machine as JetStream for SwitchBack
to work.
AutoCAD (version 2004 or later)
• For AutoCAD (version 2004 or later) or products based on it, first open the product in the usual
manner and load the nwexport application. This can be done easily by running the nwload command
in the command line. If SwitchBack needs to be available whenever AutoCAD is run, nwexport can
be added to the set of startup applications in AutoCAD.
• Once the CAD package is running, and nwexport has been started, selecting an object in the scene
will allow the SwitchBack command to be selected either from the Review menu, from the right-click
context menu of the object, or, if a Clash Detective license is available, via the SwitchBack button on
the Results tab. Selecting SwitchBack then takes the current JetStream camera view back to the
CAD package.
Note
See the Clash Results section in the Clash Detective documentation for more information on
taking clash results back to the originating CAD package.
• Switching back to AutoCAD whilst an object is selected will not only set the view in AutoCAD, but
also select the object. Selection of objects is done by entity handle, therefore, you must have Convert
Entity Handles option enabled when files are loaded into JetStream.
