2012

NOTE Some OEs have dependencies on other OEs, and, therefore, must be
installed in a specific order. For example, the AutoCAD MEP 2009 OE has a
dependency on the AutoCAD Architecture 2009 OE. As a result, the AutoCAD
MEP 2009 OE must be installed after the AutoCAD Architecture OE.
3 Click Install. When the OE is installed, click Finish.
4 Run Autodesk Navisworks.
5 Click the application button
➤ Options.
6 In the Options Editor, expand the File Readers node, and click
DWG/DXF.
7 Ensure the value in the DWG Loader Version field is the same as the
version of the installed OE, and close the dialog box. For example, if
you’ve installed OE for AutoCAD Architecture 2007, you must set the
DWG Loader Version to ‘2007’.
When you open a DWG file in Autodesk Navisworks, the file reader uses
the configured OE.
How do I know if I need to use an Object Enabler with Autodesk
Navisworks2012?
When a DWG file is opened in Autodesk Navisworks2012, and the objects are
displayed as wireframe geometry, it usually means that an Object Enabler is
missing.
Additionally, the Scene Statistics dialog box reports any missing or failed
to load OEs.
Where do I obtain Object Enablers from?
The recommended way to obtain OEs is to request them from the persons
authoring the DWG file. This ensures that the correct version of OE is used.
TIP You can also download many OEs from the vendor websites for the authoring
applications. For example, you can download Autodesk OEs from
ht-
tp://www.autodesk.com/oe
.
What do I do when Object Enablers are not reported as missing but
I can only see wireframe geometry?
