4. Select the Export current story only check box if you want to only export the current story.
Otherwise all stories will be exported. This is only applicable to exports from 2D views, as 3D views
will export everything contained within the view.
CAD Previewing
NavisWorks comes with plugins for AutoCAD 2000 and above for quick and simple previewing of the
models that are being built in those applications. These previews help in setting up viewpoints within the
CAD application, and also for previewing what the model will look like inside NavisWorks Freedom™
once published.
NavisWorks Navigator for AutoCAD
NavisWorks comes with an ARX plugin for products based on AutoCAD 2000™ and above that enables
you to walk through your model in real time inside a dockable dialog in the AutoCAD interface. Not only
that, but it enables you to easily import and export viewpoints between Navigator and AutoCAD so that
you can quickly and easily get to where you want in the model.
Note:
NavisWorks Navigator is not available for AutoCAD R14 or previous versions.
If you install AutoCAD after NavisWorks, then install NavisWorks again, choosing the Custom
Install option and choose the relevant version of AutoCAD. The NavisWorks installer will find the
right place for the plugin and set up all relevant registry entries for you.
Navigating AutoCAD models in real time:
1. Type nwnavigator at the command line, or go to NavisWorks > Navigator.
The Navigator dockable dialog box is displayed.
