MicroStation .nwc Exporter
NavisWorks comes with MDL plugins for MicroStation™ 95, SE, /J and v8 that enable you to export .nwc
files directly from the CAD application in which it was created. As long as MicroStation is already installed
on the computer when NavisWorks is installed, the MDL plugin is installed with NavisWorks on a Custom
Install or Full Install and ready for use.
Note:
If you install MicroStation after NavisWorks, then install NavisWorks again, choosing the Custom
Install option and choose the relevant version of MicroStation. The NavisWorks installer will find
the right place for the plugin and set up all relevant registry entries for you.
You can also publish .nwd files directly from MicroStation™ if you have the Publisher tool. For more
details, refer to “ Publishing from MicroStation ”.
There are two steps to exporting .nwc files from MicroStation - first you have to load the MDL plugin into
MicroStation and then you have to export the file.
Loading the NavisWorks MDL Plugin
Loading the NWExport MDL plugin manually:
1. Go to the Utilities > Key-in dialog box to load the application manually.
2. Type "mdl load nwexport6" (without the quotes) and press return.
If you regularly export .nwc files from MicroStation, then you will not want to load the NWExport plugin
manually each time, so do the following:
Loading the NWExport MDL plugin automatically:
1. Go to Workspace > Configuration.
2. Choose Design Applications under Category.
3. Choose NWEXPORT6 under Available Applications.
4. Click Add and confirm that you want NWExport added to your default configuration.
5. MicroStation will then automatically load NWExport in future sessions.
6. Click OK.
