Merging Files
When merging multiple .nwf files, that each comprise the same reference files, NavisWorks will only load
a single set of the combined models, along with all review markup (such as tags, viewpoints or
comments) from each .nwf file. Any duplicate geometry or markup will be removed when merged. See “
NWF Files ” for more information on .nwf files.
Merging a file:
1. Open the first file to be merged, (see “ Opening Files ” for information on how to do this).
2. On the File menu, click Merge
or
Click Merge on the Standard toolbar.
3. Browse to and select the file, or files, to be merged.
Note:
The standard Open dialog use of Shift and Control keys allows multiple files to be selected and
merged with the currently loaded model.
Saving Files
When you have finished reviewing a model or a set of models and are exiting NavisWorks, you are
prompted to save. When saving to a NavisWorks .nwf file, only a list with pointers to the files currently
loaded is saved, along with the scene's environment, the current view, clash results (if available) and
viewpoints. If you want to take a snapshot of the scene, including all geometry, then you need to publish
an .nwd file. See “ Publishing Files ” for information on how to do this.
Saving a file:
1. On the File menu, click Save
or
Click Save on the Standard toolbar.
2. Enter a name and location for the file, if you wish to change the existing name.
3. Click Save to save the file or Cancel to return to NavisWorks without saving.
