Emailing Files
NavisWorks is a communication tool, and the Send option makes it easy for you to send your current
model along with its viewpoints. The Send option uses your current email exchange service and will
prompt you to set one up if it cannot find one.
Sending an email will first save the current working file, so you are guaranteed to always send the latest
review.
To send a file by email from within NavisWorks:
• On the File menu, click Send
or
• Click Send on the Standard toolbar.
This accesses your email package, and sends the current file as an email attachment.
Receiving 3D Mail
If an .nwf file is received, NavisWorks will search for the appended files first using the absolute path that
the sender originally saved the file with. This is useful if a team is on a local network and the files can be
found using the Universal Naming Convention (UNC). Otherwise, a team not sharing a server can
organize a project using the same file hierarchy and drive letter and NavisWorks can find the files this
way.
If NavisWorks is unable to find the files, then the recipient can save the attached .nwf in a directory where
all the appended files are located. The .nwf can then look for these files relative to its own location.
This way, you are able to move a whole sub-directory from your projects directory to a completely new
location. Save the .nwf file in this new place and it will be able to search for the files from here.
Importing Files
The import option inputs Intergraph PDS review data, including:
• PDS Tags (.tag)
• PDS Display Sets (.dst)
It is also possible to import data that has been exported from previous NavisWorks sessions, including:
