Installing Autodesk NavisWorks Simulate 2009
Release Version with Beta
If you have previously installed any beta version (including RC versions) of Autodesk NavisWorks
Simulate 2009, you must completely uninstall these pre-release versions before installing the retail
version. Instructions to do this are posted on the beta portal in the Beta Readme files.
Exporters for 64 bit CAD systems
Autodesk NavisWorks Simulate 2009 includes exporters for 64 bit versions of 3D Studio Max (9, 2008,
2009) and AutoCAD based products (2008, 2009). These exporters are packaged as a separate product
within the installer called "Autodesk NavisWorks 2009 (64 bit exporters)". This product will only be
available for installation on a 64 bit operating system and will be installed by default.
The 64 bit exporters require Autodesk NavisWorks Simulate 2009 to be installed for full functionality.
Autodesk NavisWorks Simulate 2009 should not be uninstalled without also uninstalling "Autodesk
NavisWorks 2009 (64 bit exporters)".
