AutoCAD R14, this will be C:\Program Files\Common
Files\Autodesk\NavisWorks\2009\nwexport.arx, for AutoCAD 2000 based applications,
this will be C:\Program Files\Common
Files\Autodesk\NavisWorks\2009\NWExport2000\nwexport2000.arx, for AutoCAD 2004
based applications, this will be C:\Program Files\Common
Files\Autodesk\NavisWorks\2009\NWExport2004\nwexport2004.arx, and so on.
4. Click OK to load the ARX plugin.
5. You should now be able to use the nwcout command from AutoCAD to export an .nwc file.
The NavisWorks Partial Menu for AutoCAD
If you prefer to work from menus, there is a partial menu available to run this export command from, along
with the other NavisWorks ARX plugins.
Loading the NWExport partial menu:
1. At the command line, type menuload (followed by return).
2. The Menu Customization dialog box will be displayed, so change the Files of type to Menu
Template (*.mnu) and browse to the partial menu. By default, for AutoCAD R14, this will be
C:\Program Files\Common
Files\Autodesk\NavisWorks\2009\NWExport\LwNw_Export.mnu, for AutoCAD 2000 based
applications, this will be C:\Program Files\Common
Files\Autodesk\NavisWorks\2009\NWExport2000\LwNw_Export.mnu, and for AutoCAD
2004 based applications, this will be C:\Program Files\Common
Files\Autodesk\NavisWorks\2009\NWExport2004\LwNw_Export.mnu, and so on.
3. Click Load and then Yes to the dialog box that appears.
You should now have a NavisWorks menu just before the Help menu and this will be reloaded into future
AutoCAD sessions. This menu contains 4 items:
• Publish .nwd
